stevegrant Posted 28 July, 2020 Share Posted 28 July, 2020 Working on a few things to try to improve the performance but while minimising the cost too - essentially we've now got multiple servers running which can scale up and down depending on the load at the time. The key is tuning the threshold at which new servers are made available... bit of a trial-and-error thing, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To put the situation in simpler terms, the old server cost £300 per month and I wasn't willing/able to continue to subsidise at least half of that cost myself, so another more flexible solution had to be found.

Have you considered increasing the membership fee? Seems to be the way of the world at the moment. £5/year isn't much, maybe up to £1/month would be acceptable to most without causing everyone to leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to increase the fee then what about having some way of giving donations (if there isn't already), i'm sure some would throw a few extra quid in! Maybe have it as an option when membership fees are paid (additional donation £1, £5, £10 or other). What about a poll on fees/donations? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Kent Saint Posted 31 July, 2020 Share Posted 31 July, 2020 (edited) £10 a year is fine by me if that helps bail out Steve , would that make up the shortfall ?

A previous ad partner went under around two years ago owing us more than £5k, so that's basically where the shortfall lies. Once we've got something reliable in place to replace that, it should be fine, but I don't want to just put any old ad platform in place because some are horrendous in terms of taking over the page, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyinthesky Posted 1 August, 2020 Share Posted 1 August, 2020 I would be another happy to pay £10 pa for access.

Plastic Posted 4 August, 2020 Share Posted 4 August, 2020 Totally un-usable for a while now for me. Constant time outs.
