If it is the forums no hosting problems Spanky needs to order more bandwidth or i think he might open the forums back up the first day of october but not sure. The forums suck up a lot of bandwidth.

I've talked to Spanky several times on AIM, and I can tell you that the problems are not related to hosting...because Spanky uses a fraction of his dad's server to host NerfHQ, and if the server was down, the whole site would be down, not just the forums.

The problem is bandwidth. Every time someone views a thread, it eats up bandwidth. And NerfHQ is, without saying, the most populous Nerf forum on the net, so Spanky's wee 5 GB bandwidth limit isn't sufficient--especially when combined with the portion that is used up with his dad's site.

To get NerfHQ up faster, you can help. Spanky needs 5 gigabytes more bandwidth, which is a painfully high fee of $79. Donations are greatly appreciated. To make a donation, contact The Infinite Shindig or me (mgrinch_nm).

Now, this topic has already been discussed several times on numerous boards (especially NerfEvolved), so stop asking about it.

I don't check Nerf Evolution hardly at all. I check here the at NH the most.
