costs of web hosting + name registration are going up

[chrisNova777]

costs of web hosting have gone up significantly... the independant web is being priced out of existance.
im probably not going to be able to afford to keep paying to keep this site online much longer
so when you see my site dissappear completely.. you know why.

all these shit companies like AVID + Apple are just out to screw everyone over from the start anyway.
DONT FORGET TO UPGRADE YOUR COMPUTER! aka give us more of your money... everything is planned obsolescence rigged to break down and make you pay to fix the problem you been sold. and keep buying the same things you bought just last year over  and over again...

You've been keeping going for a while. No one can ask you to bank-roll it forever.

Planned obsolescence. Yeah, more change is coming; and not for the better. If you look into the products planned for the future, things look pretty grim. I suppose it depends on the person. I've talked to some younger people, and they love the idea of not owning a physical, or even downloaded, copy or their games or movies. You pay for the service, and when they are done with it, it is gone from your reach, forever.

"You'll Own Nothing, And Be Happy" -World Economic Forum

Who knows, maybe we will be happy. We certainly aren't doing much about it. But then again, what can we do?
Maybe the future, for the enthusiast, will be things like the Amiga Vampire. But that means we'd have to bring things like KDX back. Or one could run run an email-list. High side, they are $80-250 a year. But you still have to deal with spam

What do you think, chrissNova777? Moving forward, whats the best bet? Not just the forum, but "personal" computing in general?

capitalism is the cancer of the west, and communism is the cancer of the east, and corruption is everywhere.

i got no answers for anyone unfortunately.
