Sure, you can talk about possible improvements if you're willing to pay $70/month out of your own pocket for VPS hosting.

I have hosted the freebasic.net domain and website for 11 years entirely on my dime. Only vic and a couple others have ever thanked me. The rest of the time it's the peanut gallery whining about the forum going down for a couple hours every once in a while.

Yes, two days is a long downtime but this length is not a regular occurance. And it's unfortunate that some posts are lost (actually they are probably still on the old server if someone wants to go through the headache of merging databases). But nobody's life depends on the fb forums.

vic and a couple other mods already have my email (gmail and phatcode). Nobody emailed me about the downtime this time. I have a lot of other things going on, some of which include operations in countries where internet access is not my top priority. So I'm not monitoring the fb forums 24/7.

If someone wants to take over the full costs and responsibility of upgraded hosting, talk to vic and we will work out transferring the domain name and website

well looks like it 's problem with bills

The problem is the facilitator of the FreeBASIC sites has moved on years ago and is doing it as a favor to those that has also moved on. FreeBASIC needs to be happy with Github and some free forum to BS.
