Re: C6 Owners
C6owners.org seems to have been down for a few weeks now. Does anyone know if this is a permanent affair or if someone is working on getting it back up?Trainman wrote: ↑12 Apr 2010, 19:54 For anything and everything to do with the C6, including the technical side

Re: C6 Owners
Not sure what's going on there, but they're still on HTTP for a start and their server is declining any requests.
Please Don't PM Me For Technical Help

Re: C6 Owners
Yes we are working on it, there are a number of issues, which may result in us looking at another service provider, we are updating our Facebook page as and when there is something, however, please read this.
*** C6Owners.org Update ***
C6 Owners runs on a version of PHP that is now obsolete and we’re being forced by the hosting company to update.
Unfortunately for us to update to a newer version of PHP means making a series of upgrades to the forum software which has highlighted other issues.
The main one being our hosting package doesn’t give us enough storage space and at present there isn’t enough space to allow these upgrades to take place.
The hosting package that we’re on is a legacy package so according to the company we can’t upgrade we need to migrate the entire contents to a new platform. They want to charge us a fee to migrate and a newer platform with bigger storage space is going to double the cost of running the website. This is something that C6 Owners can’t fund.
As a result, we are going to be moving the entire site and its contents to a new hosting provider who are much more competitively priced. Once this is done the website will be back in service and if all goes to plan there will be no visible changes for anybody who uses the forum or wants access to the technical documentation.
Please bear with us whilst these changes are made as it’s something that will take a bit of time to complete.
Thanks,
David.

Re: C6 Owners
Steve, I don't remember which forum software you use, but if you use phpBB I may be able to give some advice.

Re: C6 Owners
Steve, thanks for the update. I have previously donated to the forum. I think it was done via the forum and was made a “Premium” member or something similar. I guess I can’t contribute via the currently down site. Can I contribute via PayPal or something in the current state, to contribute something towards getting it going again?
P.S. I’m not on Facebook so can’t see any messages there, just in case it’s obvious how to donate on there!

Re: C6 Owners
Hello and thanks for the information.
I have also donated once because it is a great forum.
Should another donation be necessary, I will be happy to do so.
Greetings Wolfgang

Re: C6 Owners
Guys,
Thanks for the offer, however, at the moment, we are unable to take donations. Our priority is to get the site up and running again, on a stable platform, either myself or David Hallworth will keep you updated once we figure out where the issue is.
The difficulty is time, as we both work full time.

Re: C6 Owners
Well done. I tried the donate function on the home page. Is it best avoided for now still? It seemed to be ready to take my money.

Re: C6 Owners
James, much as I would love to say, yes please……. I’m going to say no for the moment, we need to ensure that the site stays stable, We don’t want to take money, and it crash again.
