Hello All,
As promised when I took over the forum on your behalf I advised I would keep you informed of behind the scenes stuff as and when so here we are.
As you will have seen I had planned to migrate the forum over to a new server this weekend with new hosts.
Sadly it now appears that due to the sheer size and age of our database they are unable to provide what I believe I had signed up for over the next twelve months. I am currently in dispute with them to try and get out of the contract but this seems unlikely.
However, not moving servers/hosts was not an option in order to keep the site on-line moving forward as we approach 2.5 million posts and ever increasing usage. Therefore I have purchased a great package with a professional hosting company which has rave reviews.
The new sever is top class and will allow for further forum developments as we move forward, for etc hosting of images on the forum, more add ons, and features etc.
I hope to introduce more privileges for patrons as promised when we changed software.
To go alongside this and to safeguard the long term future of PNE-Online I have now acquired all the relevant domain names. ie, .net. .com.
Due to the success of the new forum software I have extended the licence going forward.
Also I am fully committed to keeping PNE-Online ADD FREE - Regardless of how many times a certain bookmakers email me.......
All this has come at a significant cost therefore I would just like to add a little note.
Without our brilliant patrons the forum would not be here and I thank you for your continued support, you really are The Gentry.
If you would like to become a patron and keep us online, you can do so from as little as £5.50 a year you can do so below.
You can do so using our secure debit/credit card facility Stripe or via Paypal.
