FAO anyone interested in Multiplayers.co.uk site

OK Toothy, here it is. There is a thread going, but I;ve just poste a couple of them:

Ok folks,

those reading this message are the most endurant of our members here at MPCoUk. You know what we have come through since BF1942 was released, and some of us a helluvalot more than that. This includes those who still post, and those who still lurk too .

I have just sent out the CANCELLATION request for our hosting contract. At 30€ per month, the ratio of usage to cost is way out of balance so, as previously stated, we are moving to a more cost effective solution.

There have been a few options to choose from, and although a very attractive one, the most recent has prooved beyond my technical expertise. Ill be pulling a final BACKUP of the Forum DB today, but will attempt to pull another as close to the switch as possible. If all else fails, todays state will be the initial state on relaunch.

The Site will close down on the 12th of August, exactly our THIRD Birthday. 1&1 have been an exceptionally reliable ISP with very very very little, and also short downtime (2-3 times, downtime <3 hrs) so in retrospect Im glad we chose them. They were a bit pricey, but I realize now, the package was a little optimisitic in terms of max. data volume. We rarely exceeded half the volume we could have transferred on a monthly basis.

The Domain will move before the Site will, so there will almost certainly be a period with NO FORUM. For this time, and to check for any possible delays or other changes please consult this site for status info. I will post there and keep you up to speed on progress. If all goes well, you shouldnt be without a forum to lurk on for all too long:

If you want to insult me, or ask about progress or stuff like that, my MSN is almost always on: The name is mad_hseldon and the domain name is hotmail dot com.

Three years is quite a long time. Its 12 billing cycles and countless hiccups within the community. Its not always been easy, it has always been fun and we aint thru just yet. Still, this is as good a time as any to thank those who deserve it for what they have done for us all.

To each and every poster on this site for participating, adding opinions, views, information and sometimes very strange jokes. In short for using the place and makin it fun to be here.
Thank you !!!

For putting his neck on the line, taking full legal responsibility for the site by being the one to sign the hosting contract. For trusting me with operating it without getting him into trouble. For his appreciation of German “green beer” and not least for being a good friend and a b*tch of a sniper to find on El Alamein..
Thanks Bumfluff !!!

For donating money to the upkeep of this site EVERY SINGLE billing cycle, for donating a Battlfield 1942/DC Server, a Teamspeak Server, FH, Operation Flashpoint server and YOU-FRIGGIN-NAME-IT-SERVERS. We are all in your debt!
Thanks Toobs. !!!

For offering a new home to us, in times of need, setting up a webspace and enduring my stupid questions while I discovered I was too thick to use it:
Thanks White Rabbit !!!

For also offering a new home to us in times of need, and being lucky enough to have a provider I can just about manage to work with and for provider the blitz-forums to keep you folks informed while I work away at the move.
Thanks TheMax !!!

For helping me and thus all of us back when we set up shop here, coming from battlefield1942.co.uk. For being my patient assistant, Chief Moderator and many other things.
Thanks Ronaz !!!

For being here and contributing to this madhouse in spite of having their own Forum-homes to frequent, and keeping to our rules in spite of having other rules where they otherwise post, and for the hours of gaming we have had.
Thanks 1st Hussars and HGG!!!
Thanks XDC !!!
Thanks Desert Rats !!!
