Ladies and Gents, we've got a serious problem with our clip section, as you may have noticed already. Since honesty.com started charging serious money for hosting our clips, we haven't found a replacement yet. What do we need?
We badly need an ftp server where we can upload and store our clips, if only for a limited span of time. This server must be hosted at a provider able to deal with an enormous amount of bandwidth (as a complete computer ignorant, I know nothing about any figures), and it has to do it FOR FREE! The bandwidth excess broke down this forum repeatedly with the traffic at the now-closed Archives, and Jeff has figured out that providing the necessary bandwidth would cost about $ 2000 a month! So we need to find either an extremely generous or an equally naïve internet host. Both are utterly rare.
There are many computer specialists in our circle, I know. Some of them might stumble over a possible host sooner or later. Or someone may know if Bill Gates is into tickling, too. We'd all solemnly promise to buy only Microsoft software in the future… 😀 Anyhow, I'm sure we can find an appropriate reward for the member who comes to rescue our clips section from its present coma!
BTW, Kathy has allowed me a glimpse into the clip for the new Realtickling video, and it is absolutely fantastic!!! But they, too, have the same problem, and we all may have to wait until a solution is found. So come on, folks, let's pool our efforts! Together, we can't be beaten! Ready, ready, GO!
