Title: Website renewal
Post by: Thotos on October 31, 2023, 05:49:50 PM
It's that time of year again when the website's hosting plan needs to be renewed and as with all other things, the price has gone up  :'(

The question is, do enough people still use this website to warrant the expense of renewing it? Or is it time to pull the plug and just stay oven on Facebook. With the 50th anniversary celebrations in Turin next year (3ma24 - Friday May24th to Monday May 27th) I think it's worth keeping this going for all the announcements etc. Money is not really the problem as we have members who have donated generously in the past and even have regular monthly donations from one of our members. Thank you all for your generosity. But I'd hate to pay that money if it's only me and a couple of others that use this website now.

So if you still use this website and want to see it renewed, please reply and say so or just give us the  [LIKE] button from the emojis above.

Even though we didn't get too many  [LIKE] I renewed the website hosting. But it wasn't just £143.88 for the year but £172.66 because I forgot about the TAX  :-[ So that's over 20% increase on last year's premium and they want me to believe that inflation was *only* 11% and now down to 6.8%  ???

But look on nthe bright side: We are here for another year at least  :laugh: so better make the best of it.

Good on you for renewing Theo [LIKE]

I've got to admit, I really don't visit the site as frequently as in the past, but still think it's a better option than FB. But I would say that as I've never been able to get the way it's laid out ::)

Would a subscription based site be the answer ?

Thank you for your support!  :-* I don't think we should change to a subscription site. We'll lose a lot of useful members who only make occational use of the site. I think the voluntary contribution system we have is a better way of doing it even though I need to make the biggest contribution!
