I have been talking with Zac via email. If you guys put together a kickstarter project and raise around 2-3k I will handle moving the forum to a new server with updates etc.

Here's the part I'm not 100% about...

Software: $300 max
Hosting: Between $9-$15/ month on a non-dedicated server

Any personal sites of yours (or AGD proper) could all run on the same server. And in effect you would still retain control of them.

Not sure where the $3k comes from.

'Splain?! :confused:

[BigEvil]

Yeah Im not sure where that $3k figure comes from either...

[BTAutoMag]

me aither...

BTW I'm Zac

Because I have to pay guys to go pull the data off the server, setup the new one, buy the software etc. I will be transferring it to my current provider away from Delaware,net so that is two bills.

Then I still have to take care of Zupe because the store runs on that server on more old software. All the parts and products need to be transferred and setup on the new store with new software. Thats a job in itself. The agd website has to go over too. I am not going to do that, someone has to pay for it. Dave doesn't have the dough either.

So its more than just transferring a list of members and some posts.

I think there would be more sales for the AGD online store if it were easier to navigate.

Like being able to click a "buy" button and pay with Paypal.

If you have to call in to buy something, to me thats a sales prevention website.

Either way if Tom or Dave or someone wants to set up an official "Update AO" Paypal account and keep us updated on the progress I'm in.

ahhhhh, I see I see said the blind man to the deaf dog

so lets get kickstarter going :clap:

[Dayspring]

i will get it going tomorrow morning.

I'd be more than happy to actually put my money where my mouth is. If the kickstarter helps out AGD as well, so much the better. Easier navigation - and easier to buy - at AGD's website would benefit AGD (or so I would like to think). As for easier navigation, don't forget to make it easy to purchase for all the non U.S. customers out there. *hint hint*

Oh, and to make a very easy incentive for people to contribute to the kickstarter without any cost/discount to it, how about that everyone who contributes a certain sum gets their photo at the top of the page, much like the gentlemen at the top of the page at the moment.

see now I'm sad cause I'm poor

I bumped the page :cool:

[Dayspring]

Well I'm looking at the Kickstarter info.

I can start it, but I'm going to end up getting hit with income tax on the funds received. So it may be better if Tom sets this up himself. I mean, I CAN, but I'd rather not pay this in my taxes next year.

kind of a different subject... on another site (neons.org) dealers pay a fee to be able to sell their stuff and have their own forum section...

sorry, luke and all them, but it is extra revenue
