I'm not saying this to be critical because I know a lot of research was done to pick a bank, but why are the bank fees so high? What are they for?
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know, I know. We're paying $9.50 a month. I need to look into getting it lower, but have not.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Carrying over something I said on the WC thread: about making old threads into zip files for downloading and offline reading. Naturally, the Nillys would no longer work, however, that is not a problem. Since the zipped HTML file would open in the browser as one long page, it's a simple matter of hitting Ctrl + f, typing in the post number of the original Nilly and reading. To coincide with this, a stompy can edit Nilly's thread and give the Post # instead of the old link.
It really isn't that difficult -- hell, if I can do it for the TT threads I've threadsucked, then anyone can -- and if it can do something to prevent another server overload and reduce bandwidth and server space blow-out, then a bit of inconvenience is worth it.

And now I see there's a $4/mo plan we can get on, and I will call them right now.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Thank you, ita, you're a hero!

jimi - that was something we'd already been planning on doing. It was discussed some time ago in the BBaBB thread. There have since been requests to do something that would require fewer steps for the user. (for the record, I agree with you)
t edit Great news, Jesse!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Thanks, Jesse.

Another social casualty...
How long can the $580 last us? And, Jesse, is your profile addy the one to use for Paypal?
ETA: Duh! Thanks for all of your hard work ita. You are a goddess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the thanks, people.
Jesse -- do you want a donations@buffistas.org set up, or anything?

We've got another year's worth of hosting already paid for, and the remaining funds should last at least another couple of years after that.
