Nope :lol:
Happy to run it if someone else pays for the upgrades, page name & hosting fee but I’ve chucked enough in years past so not inclined to do again

I would be willing to donate if others will.
What is the total cost to continue?

That’s a very kind offer, thank you. However I think it’s quite expensive.

Hosting per annum - £26.77
Domain per annum - $18.68
This doesn’t look too bad but the kicker is the forum software is considerably out of date. This is what happened in 2019 when our forum version became incompatible with the Host. There is no way to tell when/if the Host updates but we’re so far behind in versions it could stop working anytime.
The best price I’ve found is €15 per version & we’re now 10 versions behind so €150

Oopsy. Read the Hosting Invoice incorrectly. Udon Social will now go off line on Tuesday 14th October 2025

Hay Niggles,

On behalf of all the members past and present, many thanks for keeping it going for so many years, all at your own cost and effort.

:P :P :P :P

Just in case anyone it's an option I'm happy to cover the hosting fees to keep the doors open until either the software craps out of we put together a renovation plan.

Cheers

A big thank you to Hamlay for keeping the lights on.
We may or may not be lucky for the website to still operate if the Hosting company updates at their end.

Hams, I’ve sent you an email
