AngelsWin.com Forum Move & Upgrade Scheduled this week!

[Chuck]

So I have good news and bad news.

The bad news is we'll be offline for a couple hours sometime this Thursday after 2 pm or sometime on Friday for a major upgrade & relocation. 

The good news is, I'm upgrading to the current forum version which fixes a lot of bugs (including no more cookie policy pop-up's @Lou), has new feature enhancements, better performance AND I'm moving the site away from GoDaddy where I've been hosting at since 2013 to a new Cloud hosting solution which also means I will have a secured SSL connection (HTTPS) @John Taylor,and a bunch more capabilities. 

The URL after the transfer and upgrade will be angelswin.com/forums/ like it was way back in the day. 

Nothing should change as far as our logo or overall design, just better features, faster performance, less nuances and a secured connection. 

That said, I'm going from paying $50 to GoDaddy a month to $70 a month and based on traffic, it could go up to $130 a month if I exceed a certain number of unique visits. 

I know that many of you here enjoy AngelsWin.com as much as I do, so I'm doing this both of us. It's an extra $240 a year + an installation/transfer cost, but I think ya'll are worth it. Well at least some of you.  The ad money helps, but I'll pretty much be breaking even at the end of the year unless something changes. Your donations are always welcome, as is your Ad-free memberships (which I need to audit soon for those who paid for just a year). 

Anyhow, let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them. 

Cheers!

Clearly he was referring to me and Claude.

Can we give a few of the members a fake forwarding address? 

[John Taylor]

@Chuckster70 sent a donation your way to help with the move to HTTPS. Have fun with the cut-over (Sent it via Paypal to your hotmail address)

Dude! 

[tdawg87]

I said I would donate like 2 years ago. I still plan to at some point. Probably in the next 18 months.

You already paid me in ST like two years ago, but you were too drunk to remember. You have a lifetime membership dude.

I’m sending in my lifetime membership fee (and Angels hats and t-shirts) with a guaranteed 3 season no-ban clause.

Let's just say you were incredibly liberal with your cash one evening. I told you thanks dude, you're set with the lifetime membership.

Yes and he sold the pictures and videos online, so in reality he probably owes you a royalty

no-ban claude, got it.

So this move will probably come right about the time the Angels announce the hiring of Joe Maddon, right?

My fears exactly. 

[Blarg]

According to some the announcement is just a formality.

[Blarg]

Oh, and I would like to see the posting numbers skyrocket should they pick anyone else.

Awesome. I'm assuming you will have some kind of API?

I'll save him the trouble of answering. It stands for Angels Pitchers Incompetent.
