Omerta+ 1,206 Posted April 4, 2014 So just a few questions if the staff would not mind answering. If it is something you think I should not know or should be kept to the management of the site then tell me to kindly fuck off. How does this site run ? I mean not the coding, and all of that stuff. Is this a place that sits on a server in someones basement, is it proxy ? I have always been curious. Second how is this site funded ? How can I help ? What are the operating costs ? Really just want to know if prime subscriptions cover it or if donations to keep it up and running are necessary. If so, again, how do I help ? That about sums it up, if it is private then just tell me it is none of your business and I am cool with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATL_Predator+ 1,196 Posted April 4, 2014 Think TGP did away with prime subscriptions... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RazorStar 4,025 Posted April 4, 2014 The actual owners can cover me on the details, but I believe we're part of the invisionfree family of boards, we pay them a monthly rate for the bandwidth and such and we keep our site happy and healthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blotsfan 2,112 Posted April 4, 2014 I remember back when we were TheFootballPalace we were owned by some guy who kinda sucked and didn't care about the site. When we moved, he made J&D the administrator there. I don't have much of a point for this, that was just funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) So just a few questions if the staff would not mind answering.

Is this a place that sits on a server in someones basement, is it proxy ? I have always been curious. This place sits in the server farm of our hosting company. The software is through IPB. The hosting is done elsewhere. Second how is this site funded ? F4E and I cover the costs. How can I help ? What are the operating costs? That's classified. Really just want to know if prime subscriptions cover it or if donations to keep it up and running are necessary. If so, again, how do I help? Like ATL said, prime subscriptions no longer exist.
