Default WTF?? Important message about the future of Vette Barn

I got an email that said Port Dawg had tagged me in a thread about an important message about the future of the Vette Barn.

Clicked the link and it said No Thread Specified, which tells me that the thread had been deleted by a moderator.

Also, in the past couple of weeks I've sent PM's to Y2KVERT4ME, and all have gone unanswered, which is very unusual.

Da faque's going on?

Well if you're apparently the only one who saw it, what did it say?

It said the Barn is for sale, as Gary can no longer afford to support it.

Got the same thing.

How expensive is it to host such a small website? I have no idea.

It's nice to have an uncensored place to chat with a few folks.

Especially with the SPLC now in charge of moderating youtube, and twitter engaging in massive censorship.

How much money would it save to get rid of all the other subforums and just have two: Corvette talk, and Off-Topic?

I mean, does anyone ever read that shit?

I think we can all agree that there is only one sensible solution here.


Bring back Thunderdome.

If it’s solved, yay, and thank you to whomever.

If not, I’m sure one or more peeps would be interested in taking over.

Maybe if we gay the place up a bit we can get some of that sweet, sweet Soros money.

Quick! Everyone start posting threads about how bad Trump is and how good cutting off your dick and cross dressing is!!!

It wouldn’t save anything. The way VBulletin is configured, subforums don’t cost any more or any less. The license for VBulletin allows you to create as many subforums as you’d like. The cost is going to be domain name registration and webhosting. Webhosting costs are always a crapshoot. Even though you can get really cheap deals now on unmetered traffic, you basically get what you pay for in CPU timeslice on a shared server and also support. Some webhosts will go as far as kicking your forum off their server if your traffic becomes too high. A dedicated server would solve that, but that will increase your costs. I suspect, a forum like Vettebarn would do ok on basic unmetered webhosting such as Hostgator, so the outlay would be the cost of the webhosting and annual domain registration.

$12 a year to register a basic .com, a bit more if you want privacy for the owner. Basic unmetered webhosting can be as cheap as $5 or $6 a month, but high traffic sites may be forced into a VPS or dedicated server. Prices for those quickly go way up depending on the actual bandwidth and level of support.
