Pimping and running a website. That's heaven!!!

The other option of course would be to claim government benefits on behalf of the website which is a single parent mother :p.

I think there are commercialisation issues involved, if they bring in sponsors.

You guys should definitely get some sponsors, or some ads to the place to help pay for this site. Other huge student sites such as The Student Centre network all have sponsors, ads etc. Sure us users may not like it, but atleast it will cut you admins some financial slack. Heck, you guys could even make some money out of it.

have you tried google adwords?
Google adwords run as cost-per-click. We'd rather sell space for a fee, than hope the majority of users click on google's text ads.

i think it's better as well (because people can't be bothered to click), but if you have adwords i will click for the sake of it.

lol with all the money they have put into it it may be a while before they are even, but i agree, you SHOULD make money out of it , you spend enough time here and have in the past and you are the heros of at least 10 000 students, and others so why not

Thats right! We are going to be moving servers over the weekend. We have had to source a server in America as the costs for the server in australia were just increasing beyond what we could afford. There are a few positive and negative things which come with the move

Negative
The site will be a bit slower to load but it should not be too bad.

Positive
We have A LOT more bandwidth (yay)
There will be something new which may shock you all in July/August :)

Anyway, when i am moving the data/server across the site will be down and you will be unable to access the forums hopefully this should not take too long.

If i can think of anythign else i will post it!
When will this move be happening,

As this move has already happened whats the new feature
