Not really fair that you stump up the cost of £200-£300 a year as well as the time and dedication.
To be honest, I do it as much for myself as anyone else. More than happy to do it - would probably be doing something similar anyway even if I didn't have it out there on a site.
Have you not thought about rewriting the site in PHP for costs sake? I expect I could provide hosting free if that were the case.
I did consider this a few years back, but at the time MySQL wasn't developed enough to do everything I needed to. Sure it would be fine now, but the thought of rewriting everything isn't very appealing! I never learnt PHP, and I'm well out of touch with newer solutions. I dread the day that MS stop supporting classic ASP - all is fine in Windows Server 2012 so should be good for another five/six years at least.
However, for a long list of reasons, there's not a cat in hells chance of this site going anywhere near a Windows box and all the joys that entails.
Like Ugg boots, for example...
Occasionally something has cropped up on here which Richard has been able to use like the list of televised games which we developed...and some video clips...speaking of which are the bits like the Chelsea Simod cup game that bigbobjoylove posted up recently there?
I posted the goals from that game a few years back - have got 60 mins of highlights as well which I'll post in the run up to the Chelsea game. I've also still got the rest of the 'first game' videos to upload that I haven't done yet... I've slowly been working my way through all the footage I've got, everything pre-2003 has now been converted to individual files (about 800 of them), ready to upload to YouTube.
And talking of Football Pinks, that's something else I'm working on... eventually want to get match reports for every game... long way to go on that one though.
Thanks all again for your comments and donation offers etc - if I ever fall on hard times I'll know where to come
