    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Sim-outhouse had just connected with JoinfS as an alternative to the current MP server that has been around for some time now. I guess I can't fault the guy for wanting to reap some reward off of the work he's put into it, but I for one won't pay to use it. If the current version remains viable I'll stick with that, but if forced to move to the pay to play version, I won't be joining. I still have a bad taste in my mouth over the FSTramp debacle so this really doesn't sit well.
 
Yep. Won't be paying to play either. Appreciate the work he has done, but don't do mp enough to rationalize paying to us the program. NC
 
Jumping the gun a bit???

I think you might be jumping the gun on this a little bit.
The developer stated that he is CONSIDERING pricing and has yet to decide on the model.
In fact, he is asking for input about it ....so if people want to weigh in, now is the time to do so.

He may consider adjusting the pricing, but I doubt he will reverse the pricing decision completely. He intends the program to be pay to play starting with the next version. . .his only consideration will be "how much".
 
Hopefully this erroneous thread title can be changed.....

Hopefully this erroneous thread title can be changed.....maybe to something accurate, like "JoinFS to remain Donationware".
 
Maybe if a few more users donated, even a small amount, the situation wouldn't arise. The small group that I fly with use 3 different Sims, and we couldn't do that before JoinFS came along. So we all donated gladly.

Talking of donations, and chancing that I will be shot down, blues outnumber reds by more that two to one on SOH.
