Motoki: But isn't Carrigon the one who thinks CEP can damage your boot sector? For selfish reasons I have less of a down on her than the others in the thread, mainly because she seemed to understand where to draw the line in personal abuse. However, I can't yet restore her to the ranks of Dizzy and Jeff and the others like Witch who didn't join in that tirade.
Witch: I don't know if you're up for paying a monthly fee for a site at all, or if you're only able to use a free one, but I get 100Gb monthly bandwidth from Lunar Pages for $7.95 a month, and they're really great hosts, reliable and with customer forums so you can always give feedback and get help with the site. You can choose whether you prefer to design html webpages or use one of their ready-to-go forum systems to upload your stuff to.

Is she? I have thankfully avoided the whole CEP debacle since I don't read any of their chat threads but someone here has informed me of it. She always seems pleasant and helpful, maybe she got sucked in by Pam's BS, or maybe my first impression of her was wrong. *shrug*
The whole thing, as I've heard it, sickens me. Numenor is such a nice guy and has done so much for the community. TSR threw money at him and he turned it down even. And he's never been anything but pleasant and helpful. For them to act so outrageous over something someone else made in their own free time and free of charge so that they could use it and then make demands that it be changed along with outrageous and slanderous accusations is just derranged.
As I told the person who informed me of the CEP mess, every so often Pam seems to need to go on some righteous crusade about some stupid shit or other. After this dies down, give her a few months and it will be something else then. ::)

I take it that's US$7.95? That would be about $20 a month. I'll check it out and maybe some local hosters too. It would be nice to have everything in one place & ready made forums also sound good. Thanks for the suggestion.
Inge:
Yup US$. That's not even a fiver a month for me, which is the price of a round of drinks for a two! It's given me so much fun too, even choosing the yucky colour scheme. You can express your personality through your very own site.
The forum isn't there to start with but you have this sort of control panel thing and you click something and it sets you one up :D
You can read the Lunar Pages customer services forums and post any pre-sales questions you might have before taking the plunge http://www.lunarforums.com/
Motoki:
I'd offer to host you Witch, but I'm done hosting people or otherwise going into any joint sites with people. Back in May I did that for someone for a well known hack in the Sims 2 community and when myself and these people had a disagreement over what people can and can't say at the board, one of them took it upon himself to copy the whole database with all the posts and users from the board that I set up on my server and on the domain name that I paid my own money to setup and started a new domain name behind my back, moving the whole site there under my nose. Then to add insult to injury, they got Delphy of all people to host them when their complaining about him and MTS2 and only staying there because they had nowhere else to go was the whole damned reason I went through the trouble of setting them up that site in the first place.
Now admittedly, I could and should have communicated with my feelings with them better. And it's no secret I can be a hothead sometimes, but I have my limits and taking shit off of someone's server that they paid money for when you've been trusted with the password and full access to it is a line I wouldn't cross.
Basically I had shit rubbed in my face by these individuals. Some of it I probably deserved, but not to the degree it ended up. The amount of backstabbing in the Sims community sometimes astounds me. It would make a good soap opera.
Anyway, I've been loathe to talk about this whole thing because A) I want to forget about it and B) I don't want them coming here to start some bullshit flame war, but one of the times I dissappeared from the community for a while this is why. Well this and a cross country move irl.
I don't want to name names because I'm not trying to bait them or call them out, but some of you can probably figure out who I am talking about.
