Deborah,

have you decided what you are going to do WRT Lance's lockout at PF?

Yep. I'm paying for a year's hosting elsewhere; it will be my own domain name, www.anarachy.net (or possibly dot org, since a lot of workplaces find the dot net thing worthy of firewalling). Jessica's going to set it up and work it out. In the meantime, when PF shuts down, we have our anarachy yahoo group as emergency contingency. Since the treehouse is only the one thread, even the maximum fifty or so members shouldn't strain the bandwidth we're buying. We've a little over 2000 messages since the second week in November. It's a nice gauge.

Hoping to have the new treehouse set up within the next couple of weeks. It depends on Jessica's schedule; she's a busy woman and is being angelic to do this.

A good price, too. $14.95 a month gets us what we need, or should. I'm prepaying a year's worth, and we'll see.

Because damn, I loathe WX with a passion and don't want to be there.

Which brings up a point. I've been approached by some PF refugees about porting this code for their use.

How does the community feel about this?

ita, I'm a techno-moron, so whatever you and this community decide, I'll stand and nod.

It isn't my work; it belongs to you who spent so much sweat on it.

If you wanted to open-source it, I'd applaud you. But if you don't, you're entitled.

If you port it, my tiny theater board would also be interested.

As a community member, I don't really mind if the board-look is duplicated. However, if that means that they'll be coming to you with problems, I'm firmly against it. Basically, whatever's easier for the coders, stompies, and other peeps.

Last time the subject came up, which was pretty soon after the board opened, you guys were ooky.

As far as I'm concerned, it's pretty much up to the people that built it.

My tentative opinion is that I'm okay with it. However, the back end's not ready for prime time, so it will involve me being uberadmin wherever it is.

HOWEVER, and this is something we need to check (I'll need Tom's help) the code may still be spiking the CPU cycles. That has to be cleared up definitely before it goes anywhere.

If it is okay, I see it as something where anything that's done to improve the code for anyone else comes back here, even if it's something I (or others) am/are paid to do with this code here.

Does that seem fair?

Last time the subject came up, which was pretty soon after the board opened, you guys were ooky.

I was one of the folks who suggested it, and yeah, a number of folks were against it at the time. I'm still in favor. You probably want to look into some sort of open-source licensing to protect it from being swiped by unscrupulous sorts.

I was also thinking that perhaps we should look into setting up some sort of backup hosting somewhere, putting a copy of the code on it, and using that as our contingency plan in the event we go down.

Oh, yeah.
