When the ZSG went down, I sent Dawn this email:
I got another reply back from Dawn today. He's not given up, the hosting companies are being a bit of a dick about these.
Maybe we can ask him if we can migrate this to his forum as a second forum, or whether one of us can share hosting costs / server owner rights and be able to add a CoP and perhaps a CS section to the website.

It isn't dead yet. Dawn's not given up.

Well, hope it recovers... What the fuck, I'm becoming attached to a website... Turning off Internet.

This forum can be linked to as the gathering area of the ZSG community, but the guide of course, will have to be external if it is ported elsewhere.
Overall, if we can arrange a server to store the actual site on, it would be a considerable improvement, as we would have a greater degree of control over it, and also be able to add the said sections to amend it. However, 'if' being the key word here.
I can administrate this forum easily enough, especially with a couple of Duty admins, despite the fact that it obviously has its limitations. At least we could do so until a better alternative is found. But actually paying for a hosted site is something that I don't have the means of doing, relatively inexpensive as it is.

I've been discussing things with Dawnrazor, no matter what happens the ZSG will be back. The hosting company can strike us down, but we'll return bigger and .... shinier with a better forum than ever. Do you know whether we could migrate the proboards forum onto Dawn's domain? I'm curious. We could dig through the ZSG, take out the useful content and add it to a new forum . Or just get Dawn to upgrade the old one to the newest phpBB.

I figure that if we can get Dawn's site back up in some form with the forums operational, we could just upgrade those, since I figure they would integrate better with the site overall.
I could keep this place open for all the little things like the RP, and it could serve as a blowout shelter of a sort, if (God forbid) the site ever goes down again temporarily for some reason.

Ooah. I'd love to help guys, but seriously, I can't help until next Monday. Anybody knows anything about a "potlatch" ?
*looks around* Thought so. Guys, I'll be checking in from time to time this week, can't RP, can't really put all my thoughts in the posts OR do any serious admin/advertising work, but at least I'll still be a part of the community. Next Friday I'll be up and running at full speed (once I get some sleep, I've been sleeping for 3 hours per day).

What has me a bit mor perturbed - typically, it's just the ZSG forums that go down . . . not the whole site . . .
Personally, making a complete backup of the ZSG itself would be worthwhile - in case it ever goes down permanently . . . but the boards . . . as much as we all love 'em - it might be time to move our little camp in the zone somewhere more stable. It's almost an on-running joke at this point, neraly every 3-4 months on the dot, and I think the ZSG forums are down more than any other in the STALKER communities . . .
