Dear all,

As some of you know, KM has been around for a while and the time to upgrade our aging webserver has arrived.

The KM domain will normally be migrated in the upcomming 2 weeks. We'll keep the downtime limited to a minimum.

I'll post more details in the upcomming days when the forum and site will be unavailabe.

In any case: don't panic if we dissapear, we are here to stay and the new server will give us a happy and everlasting life  Wink

I'll keep you informed !

Moon,
In recent years, the performance of this site (in terms of reliability and new convenience features) has improved dramatically .

Whatever you need regarding feedback, suggestions, or other assistance during this transition, just ask...

I'm currnetly arranging the migration of the server with our hosting partner. We're still trying to find out if we can retain our current IP addresses; in this case, we would only have an interruption of about 1 hour.

The migration itself should go through next week. (Server has been ordered and paid for, we're waiting for it's activation).

Are you doing a site redesign as well as a server migration?  If so, if you need any graphics / banners etcs I would be only too happy to help.  I used to be a graphic designer so have a wealth of tools at my disposal.

Also, as this site obviously costs you money to run, do you have a donation system?  I don't have much, but would like to contribute what I can as this is a great site, and in the short time I have been made a member, I have been made very welcome, and would like to show my appreciate by donating.

At the moment we are concentrating on the migration of all sites hosted on our server. We are only hosting free sites on our server but some of them are pretty important for the users, so we don't want to screw up.
There could be a redesign of the main site (www.kara-moon.com)in the future...
To answer your other question, we don't like to ask money to people, but yes we have a donation page on the site : http://www.kara-moon.com/index.php?modid=mod01&l_submenu_id=m001_01_05   Wink

Dropped a little something through paypal, it's not much as I am on disability benefit, but I hope at least that little helps with migration costs.

Still delay on the activation of the new server. Been waiting for over 10 days now.  Embarrassed

I've mailed the hoster to give me a date, so I hope to have more news shortly...
