    Thanks to the person I paid to do the site using bootlegs, the site has to be shut down in 24 hours unless I buy an expensive Vbulletin license.

    The options are: Buy the $160 license.
    Start a new PHPBB board (lose posts)

    I'm not too hot on Vbulletin, and am looking into a way of converting it all to phpbb, but it might not be possible with this version.

    Thoughts are welcome.

    Update:

    Ok, no worries. I'll pay Jelsoft once all the paypal payments come through. Ok, my paypal account is mes1975(AT)poppy.ocn.ne.jp of course replace the (AT) with @ Oh and PLEASE MARK THE PAYMENT AS "ASSEMBLER FUND"
    Kev can you also mail me the details that I'd have to fill in to the same mail address above.

    Mind you I don't have paypal.

    There doesn't seem to be a decent converter to phpbb

    I owe you some money anyway, i'll toss in a few extra bucks towards a real liscense.

    Did you take down the rest of the board? The other branches aren't showing up off the main trunk.

    damn, this is bad news =/
    can't someone else here (that we all trust, like some moderator) with a paypal collect the money and then transfer it to you assembler?

    yeah I noticed that too (kinda hard to not notice)

    That might be a good idea.
    I'll donate to the cause if an arrangement like this can be made.

    I will also do $5 to keep the site going. Just tell me who I pay it to as I am in UK and Paypal is all I'm registered with (apart from bidpay) but it's not really worth it for $5!

    Holy shit. That sux. The only way I can send money is thru paypal. I'll know by tomorrow if I can send you a money order of $50, budget permitting.

    I'm willing to throw in to $10, but again it would have to be paypal. I'd say to buy it and look at converting when you have more time to do so.

    Holly shit !! I was just looking at the site before. This is really bad news !! We ALL need to throw in 5 dollars (it's nothing anyway !) we all get something out of this board sop we should ALL put something in to getting it back up and running !!

    I'd be more than happy to let people use my Paypal account but how will I send money to ASSEMbler if he has no paypal account? I'm not doing a bank transfer. maybe I could send Travellers cheques or postal order. Anyway, we need to get something sorted.

    I'd move to have yakumo be the collecting point. Jelsoft accepts paypal.

    I'd just have yakumo purchase it, filling in the site's info and what not.

    That is, if he doesn't mind.

    Lst resort, I will eat the fees, but I was hoping for some community
    support on this issue.

    I'm in the US, East coast instead of west coast. And by the looks of it, I can do the $50 donation via money order.

    How about online bank transfer I do those all the time, they are very secure, or how about western union?
