Thomas Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Well, it's been fun. Haha. Just kidding. Hopefully you didn't have a heart attack. Although, as you might have noticed, we've been having issues lately that culminated in some sort of equipment failure on DH's end, effectively killing the site for over a day. Due to the slowness of the site and its general growth, we've decided to move hosts and we need your help to front the bill. Please donate what you can to Jeffry's paypal account at datsunlb110@hotmail.com . Thanks for making this a great community! Thomas and Jeffry 7 Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 :D I'll try to help! All my change goes to Ratsun!! Thank you for you saving me of imposter ratt Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 There has been talk on FB about someone hosting for us? What is our goal? I will donate what I can. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 It was the owner of NicoClub. Talk to him, he seems to want to help. Greg Childs is his name. Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Donated 20 bucks. I have been a member for 4 years and jeff has never asked for any donations to keep the site going he just pays out of pocket every year. Lets show him how much we love this site and help him by paying the bill. If every one pitches in he wont have to pay out of pocket come on guys atleast 10 bucks. I know we have all been desparate to see the site go back online. 3 Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Jeffry? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Booyah! Back up and running, yay! As I posted on the Realm seeing as there was no Ratsun available, I have too much invested interest on threads I've created on half cocked motors theories and whatnot that I'd rather not have tossed out in the cyberspace trash bin. I'm donating $25. Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Did you seriously ask Datsun, specifically ratsun people for money? LMAO!!! ;P Like most drugs the first hit is free... ... and I'm an addict so I'll be sending some money :rofl: Quote Link to comment
chester Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Just sent $10 will send more later Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 It was the owner of NicoClub. Talk to him, he seems to want to help. Greg Childs is his name. AZhitman is his username on Ratsun .......... http://community.ratsun.net/user/839-azhitman/ Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 You know, I REALLY dislike multiple ads on forums. I just browsed Nicoclub, not a fan of the layout. I get enough ads on tv. I think we just need to pony up the dough and keep the site paid for through regular contributors. 3 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Jesus Thomas you scared me for a sec! sending some monies tomorrow. Jeff has been keeping this place up since 07 and has never asked for donations. theres a donate button that can be added as part of the forum software most of the time and still Jeff has kept this place running for us. ADD FREE MIND YOU! Ratsun has raised a bit of coin for good causes in the community before and now its needed more than ever. pitch in 50 cents if ya got it! theres like 12k users here...... it adds up. 2 Quote Link to comment

I think we just need to pony up the dough and keep the site paid for through regular contributors. We dont know what it means to have him host. It does not mean that that we would have to use his forum software. We could still use IPboard (and its a pain to switch software, let alone upgrade). Hosting is simply where the forum exists.

Jason Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Donated Jeff! C'mon guys, you want Ratsun to stay around don't you .... Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Money sent. Thanks for the awesome site Jeff. I think it's time the Members start picking up the tab. Not by force, but by choice. Do as Skib said and use that "DONATE" button here. I think there are enough regular attenders here that it wouldn't be an issue at all. Quote Link to comment
dastunboy61o Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I was going crzy for like a day without the site .... Figured someone hacked the site .... I'm gald it's back up tho I'm very happy gives me the resources to build my 620 :) I'll gladly help to keep the site up... Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Don't think I missed it, but is there an actual "goal"? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 It would help if we knew what are goal was to keep it the way it is/was. Ask yourself this guys, how many times did you try to get on and get the fatal error page, if it was 50 times, well I think your addicted like me, :wacko: so lets do what we need to keep it like it is, which is GREAT. I donated, and I will send more if needed. wayno 2 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Do as Skib said and use that "DONATE" button here. I think there are enough regular attenders here that it wouldn't be an issue at all. lol Iv been talking about that button for a while. we could easily cover the early tab with the donate button feature.
