The forum will be migrated to it's new VM on Hetzner Cloud this evening around 11pm-12am EST (3am-4am UTC). Forum will be inaccessible for a few minutes while that occurs.
I've also set up the support/help desk using HESK, so I'm prepping that as well. Will post an update when these two items are complete.
Almost time! Bye old, friendly LES server! Thank you! ❤️

Looks like, yes. When mikho and I inherited it, it was on a multi-core server (2 CPUs) so the specs were increased sometime between site launch and now by Ant.
and is it now on multi core?
Yes, it's now run on a CPX11 Hetzner Cloud VM (2x Epyc vCPUs)
To be honest why not. Offer people a 'supporters' title, access to a private forum, no ads and other perks that won't cost you anything and I suspect quite a few would sign up to it just to support the place. It will end up paying hosting costs if nothing else.

Something like that is on the roadmap.
Among other things that @Mason and I discuss.
Its not long ago that the last parts of LES was transferred so that @Mason and I could manage domain/mail settings and such.
Things are happening in the background and as mentioned earlier we have focused on changing a few things as we now are more then one that runs LES and need to be updated on things that happen on this forum.

I would pay for a supporters title that actually hits the spot. Not just WHT style though, something more community based.
I'm not a sidebar ad person so won't be doing those again, so if you want to monetize me there's your chance

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your spot?
I’m jumping the gun here since questions will be asked later on, but please, tell me your ideas.

I honestly would prefer 1 leaderboard and one footer rotating ads. Not intrusive, everyone gets a fair amount of visibility and please for the love of god, don't allow me to upload flashy ads. If you do, I won't be responsible for the outcome.

Why not just allow people who don't want to pay for ads to pay for "nothing" and give them priority.
If an ad costs $5 for example - let a supporter buy an ad space and let it show up as blank, empty, not attribution- just whitespace.
If enough supporters buy nothing, there will be no ads selling something. So, those that want nothing- win. If those that want nothing are more vocal than supportive, then we get ads for something.
So, everyone will face the internal dilemma- do they want something or nothing; or do they just want to discuss forever.

!Quick Announcement!
Early next week there will be a change made to LES. Can't/won't say much more at this point.

No need for glasses.
Only make sure your joints are warmed up.
Or you might end up with a stiff neck.

new platform?

The sidebar is going, I guess. Hopefully the rest will center on my screen that has a resolution and format that’s too high for filled out websites.
Initially read "Early next week there will be a charge made.."

If you can't charge for it, take it off them.
No worries, I can arrange that too.
A member fee of $7?

Just something honest and fair really.
I mentioned raffle idea in another thread, but I think any sort of community events/giveaways and stuff would be good.
