Seesh billing problems, which reminds me that you aren't taking
money from any sponsors.
Honestly Cleod if perchance you could make an original Mcleod title
with your own formula and what not (Ala Animus and blar(if youu are worried about legal qualms from the big "N")
You could get some pretty good sponsoring with all the hits you get on the
site.
But if your bent on just going it alone for your troubles still power to ya.
But being a person whose probably...most definitely more broke than you
A sponsor would seem mighty good right about now, to at least lighten the load
and make a possible income.


Then again I don't know how any of these internet billing and management works
completely so I may be just spitting useless crap.

It's better for now that I finish SSF2 first, I'll worry about sponsorship when I start my other projects once SSF2 is complete.

Ouch... Sorry to hear about the billing problems, but I hope you get threw them!

I felt like a got punched in the face when I saw that bill... :doh:

By the way, I'm going to be moving to an unmetered dedicated server, most likely from here:

http://www.zenex5ive.com/hotdeals.php?page=unmetered

Running out of monthly bandwidth should be the last of my worries

So do you mean you're recreating the forums again or what? You said "start all over".

No, everything will stay the same.

You've got to love MediaFire's unlimited free storage.

I guess we'll have to change the demo links on the wiki. Can you please upload the older versions of the demo to MediaFire also?

Question... Who sent you the bill, and what happens if you don't pay it? :O_o:

His web host sent him the bill.

If he doesn't pay it, he gets reported to the bill-collecting-people.

UPDATE:

Ok guys, so the situation has changed now. There will NOT be any immediate downtime, however sometime in the near future I will be very likely changing web hosts.

So for now you guys can just forget this just happened, I will make a less urgent announcement after I decide to move to a new server. It won't be for at least another month for now most likely so no need to worry.

------------------------------

To ease the situation, I will be using the following sites to host my heavy files:

http://www.box.net/
http://www.megaswf.com/

(Decided not to go with MediaFire due to limitations)

So guys, this means no downtime for the time being, by using these two websites (Box.net and MegaSWF) I should valuable bandwidth (therefore saving money) ;)

I'm still going to change web hosts soon though, I don't want to take my chances dealing with something like this again.

I will be using Box.net instead (Mediafire doesn't have unlimited bandwidth even after upgrading... :hmph: )

Just use the new links I provide later tonight

No there won't be any obvious visual signs that anything changed, I'm still embedding the game here, and the download links will just be from my Box.net account instead of my server.
