Donated. Awaiting premium status.
I'd prefer you sending a message to me on here (if need be) rather than email if possible.
I'll have to try out the Amazon thing. I go on there a good bit sometimes.

As others mentioned already, some of us have access to piles of parts that are just gathering dust and/or are destined for the ewaste bin. If you have an immediate need for parts, it might be worth asking for some specific items while you contemplate going to AWS / Azure / Goole / etc. Personally I'm not much of a cloud person either; but for a forum I suspect it would make a lot of sense. Am sure you can keep a mirrored backup of the entire forum (or just the database) locally, too, "just in case".
BTW, the timing of the PM blast was interesting. Just posted about something about a bunch of new servers I had received on a different forum shortly before it came in.

I typically send a PM.
It doesn't contribute a ton of cash right now, but it has potential if the links were more broadly used.

We may take you up on that.
YellowBullet Canadian owners moved the site to google cloud, the forum has basically been erased. Keep your stuff on your servers Sid.
Erased? How so?
All posts older than a few weeks are gone, they resume for posts older than 5 to 7 years ago.
Donation just sent, Sid. Thanks for all you've done towards the success of my business, and for all you've done for the SVTP community. You rock, my friend!
I have a hard time believing the data is actually gone, there almost had to be several backups out there. Something probably just went wrong during migration and they are trying to fix it.
Much appreciated Bob.
So I just went over to YB to see what was up. That was definitely a migration issue, but they never should have switched traffic over from the old boxes before fully testing the new site. It'll take some time to clean up. On a side note, vB 3.8 feels ancient compared to the software we run. Plus I saw a several posts complaining about Photobucket. Glad we aren't dealing with that.

The server issue has been handled for now, but we're always working on updates for the site. Any help is appreciated. The two easiest ways to directly contribute is to either send a Paypal gift to [email protected], or sign up as an SVTP Premium Member:
