Hosting a Halo site does not compare to hosting any other site. There are just far too many morons out in the world that their main goal every night is to annoy me. My phone number got leaked and I received a ton of spam txt messages, and got my voicemail hacked. (Didn't even know that was possible). I'd expect this kind of attitude and level of maturity if I was a top site, like se7ensins. However iBotModz is not. We are a small community yet people continue to attack us.

The recent downtime was caused by no attack. However this downtime got me thinking again. I do this for free, I earn 0 dollars back from the site due to the pathetic ad pay scale. Money out of my own pocket pays for the (domain, ipb renewals, and my hoster). What was once my hobby and fun thing to do is quickly becoming an annoyance. However, I will stay true to my word and keep this site running until Halo Reach. I built a very robust application for Halo Reach that I intend to use on this site. However, if this site becomes more of a hassle then hobby then I'll sell the script to a buyer and join their team of administrators.

I also don't know if I can trust/stay with our current host. One day I'm being canceled and dumped from the system. Then the next day I'm being asked to come back. If we have another one of these breaks. I will join fattwam server until I find a more permanent solution.

I had fun over the 4 years hosting, but its slowly dwindling down.

That sucks..Maybe you should file a lawsuit to earn extra money.

Terrible idea, awful.

If your switching servers, would you consider a Russian host?

With IBM gone where will I post all the useless shit I find on the internet and IRL? Off topic is basically my blog.

Don't shut down the site senor

I was sad to see it down when I tried to go here the last few days. It's sad because most of the more popular sites now a days have terrible admins and staff that aren't even active on their own sites, but I always see you online and I always see new things being rolled out for this site. I would be pissed to see it all go to waste.

No.

[iTzoODavidOo]

Everyone will leave and the site will be dead -.-

You will lose iBotmodz more members then you can gain. Peaches does a brilliant job here and all his hard work would have gone to waste if you buy it.

[iBotPeaches]

connors sig is too big.

The site if I give it up will either be deleted and removed or given to fattwam.
