Thank you!
Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One minor formatting thing with the css site: The taglines below the username and date are too big. Or bigger than they are now, in any case.
The code as it stands now lets you add your own style sheet, so you could mess with that--I've set my current one so graphics and the quotes are invisible. In theory, you could move the right hand threads over to the left, but I haven't tested that far.
Okay, back to the upgrade. Do we do it? Can we afford to do it?
I think we should, but I have no idea how our finances stand.
Right now I can't use the control panel, so every little thing will have to be done by hand, like change votes@ to some other account, and I don't have RSH at work. I don't think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There seems to be something going weird with the dcistas listserve. Last week, Sparky sent out an invite. Some people got it, others didn't. (I didn't. I'm not sure exactly who did and who didn't.) Today, she sent out a reminder. I did not get that, but Maria responded to it, in a mail to the whole list, and I did get Maria's response. I'm not sure what's going on with it.
t edit: I checked my spam folder, and the missing messages aren't there, either

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our finances are fine, if it costs the several hundred dollars mentioned up thread.

Aha. Thanks.
Are there any naysayers to the suggestion?

But remind me to make a new money-requesting post Sunday or Monday, if I haven't. I think my last one was over the weekend, and response was minimal.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who just got an email from People's Forum... How is this possible?
I've pledged to continue running the site (for no pay) as long as members continue to be willing to pay for the cost of hosting it (presently $224/month), and so far they have done just that. In fact, PF has been entirely member-supported for almost 4 years now!
How are we getting off so cheap if PF costs $224 a month??

I quickly unsubbed my self off that list.
I suspect that Lance Brown isn't, maybe, the most hard-deal-driving savvy businessman out there.
And maybe we just got lucky.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
$224 is probably managed hosting, where somebody is else paid to manage the server. I'm saying probably as I've no clue of the situation, but $224 is ball park for a very decent spec server with fully managed hosting from a big company. From my experience, I paid on average (over the last few years) $70 a month for the UK and US Serenity sites, with registered user numbers at the low 5 figures. I've got it down to $50 nowadays by ditching some of the really old content and moving back to shared hoting.
