Server to be shut down

[ASSEMbler]

Thanks to the person I paid to do the site using bootlegs, the site has to be shut down in 24 hours unless I buy an expensive Vbulletin license.

The options are: Buy the $160 license.
Start a new PHPBB board (lose posts)

I'm not too hot on Vbulletin, and am looking into a way of converting it all to phpbb, but it might not be possible with this version.

Thoughts are welcome.

Update:


I'd move to have yakumo be the collecting point. Jelsoft accepts paypal.

I'd just have yakumo purchase it, filling in the site's info and what not.

That is, if he doesn't mind.

Lst resort, I will eat the fees, but I was hoping for some community
support on this issue. Ok, no worries. I'll pay Jelsoft once all the paypal payments come through. Ok, my paypal account is mes1975(AT)poppy.ocn.ne.jp of course replace the (AT) with @ Oh and PLEASE MARK THE PAYMENT AS "ASSEMBLER FUND"
Kev can you also mail me the details that I'd have to fill in to the same mail address above.

Yakumo

[Sally]

Good lord... I saw him here yesterday too... :banghead:

[yourTom]

how about we all throu in 5 bucks ?

[ASSEMbler]

Mind you I don't have paypal.

There doesn't seem to be a decent converter to phpbb

[Sally]

I owe you some money anyway, i'll toss in a few extra bucks towards a real liscense.

Did you take down the rest of the board? The other branches aren't showing up off the main trunk.

[ASSEMbler]

Yeah, to get some attention. I am calling jelsoft in about an hour, to see what I need to do.

[babu]

damn, this is bad news =/
can't someone else here (that we all trust, like some moderator) with a paypal collect the money and then transfer it to you assembler?

That might be a good idea.
I'll donate to the cause if an arrangement like this can be made.

[dickibow]

I will also do $5 to keep the site going. Just tell me who I pay it to as I am in UK and Paypal is all I'm registered with (apart from bidpay) but it's not really worth it for $5!

[madhatter256]

Holy shit. That sux. The only way I can send money is thru paypal. I'll know by tomorrow if I can send you a money order of $50, budget permitting.

[the_steadster]

I'm willing to throw in to $10, but again it would have to be paypal. I'd say to buy it and look at converting when you have more time to do so.

[Yakumo]

Holly shit !! I was just looking at the site before. This is really bad news !! We ALL need to throw in 5 dollars (it's nothing anyway !) we all get something out of this board sop we should ALL put something in to getting it back up and running !!

I'd be more than happy to let people use my Paypal account but how will I send money to ASSEMbler if he has no paypal account? I'm not doing a bank transfer. maybe I could send Travellers cheques or postal order. Anyway, we need to get something sorted.

Yakumo

[cdoty]

I'd throw in $5, as this site is a virtual goldmine of information on new and old development systems.

Can't you set up a donation system through Paypal or Amazon?

[the_steadster]

probably easiest if we paypalled a US guy and then he could send a cheque

[madhatter256]

I'm in the US, East coast instead of west coast. And by the looks of it, I can do the $50 donation via money order.

[_skitzo_]

How about online bank transfer I do those all the time, they are very secure, or how about western union?

[babu]

when it's decided who to send to please say were to send.. got some money waiting ;)

[madhatter256]

Got $50 cash. PM me the address.

These are very expensive in the US.

...Just post a paypal addy that we can all use and I'll send some over.

...Just post a paypal addy that we can all use and I'll send some over.

Or that too.

[ASSEMbler]

What would be ideal would be to take funds via paypal.
Those who can only mail money can send it to me via mail.

We'll use the mail money towards setting up a dedicated FTP
and irc server or setting up the first run of t-shirts.
Those who sent by mail would get the amount they sent deducted from the shirt.

What you think?

[madhatter256]

So if I mail u the money, I get a t-shirt? Because of the amount I pledged

[NeoAux]

I will throw in some cash.I dont have much but I will help.

[ASSEMbler]

So if I mail u the money, I get a t-shirt?

It was merely a way of accomodating those without paypal.
Not a way of getting free shirts...

Are you still able to send/recieve PMs, Kev?

Good thing you locked him out of administrative uses before this happened. Sue him for the $160.

[ASSEMbler]

All funds will be used properly and accounted for people. None of it will wind up paying for lapdances, beer, or smokes.

[the_steadster]

Sent $20. Would send more but thats All I can do at the moment

[Sally]

I'll add in an extra $20 to the Money Order i already owe you for the computer case on ebay (btw i still need a total for that).

[Zilog Jones]

I'd send money but Mr. Overdraft is a bit of an issue right now for me. Damn christmas -_-

[dickibow]

Yup money sent. Good work lads (and ladies...).

[ScoobyD]

Been visiting this site for over 4 years, I just never bothered registering. Came on today to see the news. :noooo:

I'm a bit skint with Christmas and all, but I've transfered you over $20. Hope that goes a little way to sorting this all out. ;-)

[Kittyhawk]

Sent my $5! Yay, ASSEMbler! Thank you, Yakumo, for taking Paypal. ^_^

[ASSEMbler]

The nice thing about the legit license is that I can get the plugins and add in modules to work. I can back up the database and do a fresh install and get rid of all these bugs he left us.

80 people online. Nice to see the community support.:typin:

[Mark30001]

So we have only 24 hrs to send all of the payment? I wanted to go to my local store and send a Western Union donation, but might only have time tomorrow.

Damnit, this is more bad news since this new year...

[liquitt]

5$ donated, sorry i can't give anymore :(

[ASSEMbler]

I have to reply with a valid license in 24h-48h. To play it safe, the content is all offline except this thread.

[marko33]

hope this gets resovled soon assembler your pal mark

[kingofthelobster]

$5 sent, hopefully we can pull this off in time. I'd hate to see these boards disappear all because the DCMA and their evil little web-spies.... bastards.

[NUONgamer]

I don't want to see all this information getting lost, so I donated 5 Bucks. That's me as a newbie, just joined yesterday.

Good luck guys !

[Famicoman]

I say you ask Albert At AtariAge. You have an account there, and he changes the forums host alot. Perhaps give him a ring for a possible converter.

[Tachikoma]

Once the mortgage and shit clears from my account I will be able to know what I can chuck in, but I'm afraid it won't be a lot.

[XerdoPwerko]

I'm sending money via snail-mail (or money order if there's a way... I'll check) tomorrow. Copied the adress, I'll buy the dollars tomorrow to send them.

If there's only 24 hours, though... I'll have to go to the bank first thing tomorrow morning.

Hope everything gets worked out. I chipped in $10 for the license.

[Yakumo]

Guys, thanks so much for all the donations !!! We are doing really well !!! I don't want to post how much we have so far so I'll leavethat to our main guy to post. I did get a paypal payment from someone who I won't mention here which says the following.

"This eCheck payment will remain "Uncleared" until the funds clear from the sender's account, which usually takes 3-4 business days. If you are shipping an item, please do not ship your item until the funds clear into your PayPal account. You will be notified by email when the funds clear into your PayPal balance."

Does this mean I have the $20 or not? I'm not sure if I should add it to the total. From reading the message it seems not. Any how, thanks so much EVERYONE for the donations. I've got all mail addresses of people who donated just in case something happens to ASSEMbler's PM data. Still time to add more donations!

You get that kinda info from me too Yakumo, since i gotta first tranfer the money to paypal and then they will finalize the transaction, hope its not a too big of a problem.( bTW its 10 $ from me)

[Yakumo]

yeah, I think I will. Coming up to 5:20am so I'm off to sleep. I have to go out tomorrow but I will be back in the evening. Then I'll sign up for the software on behalf of ASSEMbler.

Yakumo

[GaijinPunch]

A few quesitons

-Does $160 buy the license forever?
-Any monthly fee?
-Will you get control of the database again? (IE -- be able to make changes you want to?)

While there's no easy converter for PHPBB (did you check phpbb.com forums -- those guys know everything) it's probably not hard to salvage quite a bit of it. However, I'm sure it will take a lot of time.

You have other options. You can pay for the VBulletin license, and take daily backups of the DB, all the while figuring out how to convert it to PHPBB. If it's a MySQL database, it shouldn't be that hard. Posts would be easy. Poll's and other stuff might be tricky though.

[Greatsaintlouis]

Wow, here's what I get for sleeping in! My donation's on the way; it's not much, but hopefully it helps a little bit.

Yakumo
Aren't you always like that? I know I am...

[ASSEMbler]

It's forever, no way I am getting suckered into their "yearly" package.

I've been experimenting, so far, it keeps corrupting, it seems the php has some custom header I have to deal with.

I'm sure if I do a clean install of vbulletin, without all he hack shit that keeps fucking up, it'll be fine for now.

[GaijinPunch]

EDIT:
Here's some threads that might help:
Link 1 (http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=283589&highlight=convert+vbulletin)
Link 2 (http://www.phpbb.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=316543&highlight=convert+vbulletin)

It seems possible, but round-about. There's an entire forum at phpbb.com talking about converting. I'm sure there's some people here that aren't too bad with MySQL either that wouldn't mind helping.

Doesn't that only include updates for a year? After that it's $30 a year for updates, although over the course of a year that chump change.

Damn. This news was a terrible surprise.

I'll try to send a money order tomorrow.

It sucks to not have a paypal right now. :banghead: :banghead:

[Micjohvan]

Yakumo a echeack is just like a normal check as in it will take a few days to clear. So I doubt that you will have that money until it does. eCheacks are when people with paypal dont have credit cards and its linked to their bank account. Payment is not instant as it would be via a credit card. I had mine set up that way for a time. I didnt know if you knew that or not so I figured I would tell you, sorry if you already did. Good luck on getting it all worked out.

[Fatalist]

Just sent $20 with Paypal to Yakumo account.
Cheers!

[Dot50Cal]

$35 just sent to Yakumo via paypal. Im sure we have enough by now but this is a good opportunity for assembler to take donations :)

Kevin if you need any help with the site or vbulletin I know a bit, Feel free to ask me any questions.

Definitely get the "forever" license. It makes it so you can run the software FOREVER, but in 1 year your updates will run out. Just gotta pay a small fee then to get updates for another year.

[ASSEMbler]

Whatever we get goes into immediate improvement, and whatever penalties they are trying to make me pay....

[Sally]

While we're on the topic, just out of curiosity... how much bandwidth does this site pull?

[atomiX]

While we're on the topic, just out of curiosity... how much bandwidth does this site pull?

We had 38,340,430 ( yes 38 million ) visits last year in an 11 month period (site was started mid feb)

We average 30 gigs a month in transfer for text alone.

The site is read intensive. 90% of the users lurk and read.

[liquitt]

wow, this is impressive...i thought of a well visited site but .... :D

[RyanGamerGoneGrazy]

Assembler how are we doing now?

Are we in a safe haven yet?

Wow, that's a lot O_o

And in case you didn't realise this, the rest of forum is still accessible. Look what happens when you go to this:

I realised that on my user CP it's subscribed me to pretty much every thread I've posted in, and I tried going to one - and it worked! I'm sure Google links and whatnot will still work as well.

[Mr. Casual]

Dammit! My Mom wont let me take money out of my bank account! I dont have any cash, so I can just wish you the best of luck, ASSEMbler.

BTW, if the site goes back to PHPBB will it have the old style?

[ASSEMbler]

I'll update at 8am appx tomorrow,e.s.t. I have a lot of phone calls to make before business day is closed.

Maybe with any extra funds, as well as paying for the vBulletin license, Kev can pay for a few years' of further updates from Jelsoft, any maybe have a few other nice things on the site.

Hope it's all sorted in time!

[Sinjd]

i dunno what the current situation is (ill admit to not reading all 6 pages) but if push comes to shove, I legally own my vBulletin and will gladly create a forum (with all necessary subforums) for Assembler. Hell, ill host the whole site haha. ^_^

my main email and msn email is the one registered to this account, so if you do want to do anything (even if its only for a few days or w/e) let me know ^_^.

It means that it will take about a week to clear the bank. You should have the money by then.

opps sorry it seems Assembler had some issuses of email transfer for the money, gotta go to the bank tomarrow during my lunch to make my token payment (>.<)

Sucks that i dont have paypal, or credit cards, i would send a little 20 for sure.

Whats good to see is all those people who lurked and still helped you. This is really appreciated.

Donation sent. Not much (4K of debt tends to limit ones spending), but hopefully it'll help.

[ASSEMbler]

As soon as yakumo wakes up we'll find out how much we raised.
He's probably already ordered the license.

Anything extra we'll use for either T-shirts or something special.

It would be nice to hire someone so we have a pro frontpage like
gamespot, or better yet, a trade interface sort of like the old
gametz site.

[TheLamer]

15 bucks sent via paypal .


I say upgrade the servers with the extra money .

[liquitt]

t-shirts?? hurray :)

[Skizziks]

Donated 20.

Good luck, Assembler!

[mairsil]

Just donated. Would have done so sooner, but I just saw the thread.

ASSEMbler: Definitely make sure to respond to the DMCA notification as soon as you have the license. Also, if they are trying to get you to pay significant penalties and you can track down the person whom you paid to do the website (name and address are typically all you need to give proper notification), you should consider taking legal action. Alternatively, if this person has a design business, you may be able to forego any penalties by alerting the copyright holder to a potential "bigger fish".

[sayin999]

sadly im broke so i cant dontate money at this time, i wish you the best of luck and hopefully things will be fine.

why not keep the money in a pool for emergencys like this or maybe the monthly payment for the server instead of a t-shirt

btw. are planning to bring back your old museum i really liked that

How much more do you need? I may be able to give some.

[Taemos]

I would donate, but I'm out of a job as of Friday and I'm broke. I wish you the best of luck, though.

Edit: I found $2.50something in my Paypal account, so I sent that. It doesn't make much of a dent, but I wanted to help somehow...

[samael64]

I don't have much spare cash right now, but I sent along $5.

[Hawanja]

20$ has been sent. Hope you guys get everything straightened out soon. Good luck.

i dont have a payapl but my roomate does,so as soon as he gets home from work ill send something!

[devilredeemed]

I'm pretty much broke right now. this is shit. up until sunday night I would have been able to contribute no problem. I feel quite guilty. I hope things sort themselves out

[Survival Tobita]

I sent :10bux:. I would have sent more but I'm not very employed at the moment :P All of the knowledge and entertainment this site has provided to me has been priceless.

What does this mean for www.rollingbomber.com (http://www.rollingbomber.com) ? Even though it's using phpbb would they shut that down too?

Sent $8.50 via paypal to yakumo. I'll still send an extra $20 when i send you that money order.

That is a really freaking bizarre website.

You sortof answered your own question, though - it's using phpbb, which is free. We were on the vBulletin software, which is NOT free. The issue here is that our copy of vBulletin powering the site was apparently pirated - yet another nice present left by the fellow who set the new site up.

Donated 5 spot to yakumo sorry it couldn't be more but i just bought a new car today and now i am tapped. looks like i am skipping this generation of machines for a while now.

Whats the deal with that site?Its bugged out man.

[Omar]

I just sent $10
But frankly, rather than being taken in hostage by a proprietary program from which you can't export messages easily, I'd rather have someone spend time to do a conversion of messages and switch to say, phpBB or something free.
In any case, please don't lose the existing message base (it has been lost already and that was a shame IHMO).

[Segafreak_NL]

Just saw this thread, if any more money is needed I'll paypal some when I get back.

[ASSEMbler]

It's just this site that has to go offline.

I don't care for Vbb but the posts are important.

Putting the money in an account soundslike a good idea.

We can save it, and if we do raffles or auction, I can build up money
to buy unreleased games for us to release as well.
(just a passing thought)

[mdmx]

I will send 10 $

unfortunately my paypal account is empty. so I have to fill it up with some cash first. But you will receive the money asap.

[Dot50Cal]

Do you still own the domain assemblergames.com Kevin? It would suck to lose that, as it might displace a lot of people.

[ASSEMbler]

I own all the domains, it's just that the place where the server is will shut the domain down if the issue isn't resolved.

[DedalO]

I have donated 15$ via paypal it is not so much, hope this helps anyway :)

[WolverineDK]

Mate: I have just sent a registred letter 2 hours ago with money.

It would definately be cool to see some Super A'Can games dumped.

[Rabid Peanut-Butter]

$5 sent via Pay Pal, I hope I wasn't too late. :(

[RyanGamerGoneGrazy]

Assembler, any updates?
