• We’ve mentioned it the past and asked for help as a precautionary measure, but now, it’s really happening. Within the next month, this page WILL move to a new server, with a new address.

The reason for this is because we’re moving our internet account to a new provider, on an ultra fast cable modem no less! Why is this bad? Well, the new provider doesn’t give us enough web space to hold our page, unless we’re willing to pay an extra 5 dollars a month per meg! This is outrageous and we refuse to pay.

Therefore, WE NEED A NEW HOME! And we MEAN it this time! Sorry to put you all on the line like this, but it’s time for you to come through! Here’s what we’ll need:

• A fast, reliable server that will be online and available for many years to come.
• Approximately 4 megs of disk space to start, with that number growing at the rate of 300k or so (give or take) monthly, due to the news archives.
• Access to the webpage at all times, through either telnet, FTP, or both, in order to let us update the page in realtime, at any time we need, to get the breaking news online right away. This is VERY IMPORTANT and the reason we couldn’t accept a lot of our previous invitations!

Well, that’s pretty much it. Not a problem, huh? We know it’s a tall order, but we think SOMEONE out there can come through for us. The site gets around 200 hits per day now, which is pretty low traffic as far as websites go, so it shouldn’t hurt your bandwidth. If you need us to link back to you somehow in an advertisement, we can certainly work something out, although we’d prefer not to plaster ads all over the site and ruin its look.

And finally, yes, we are aware of Geocities and the other “free” web space providers. We hate them and refuse to put News Askew there. Not only are they slow, but they limit your disk space and they make you puts ads all over the place. And they’re slow.

PLEASE HELP US! We’ll be your best friend. E-Mail us HERE to apply!
