Certo, a volte ha dei banner rompicoglioni ma il servizio mi pare buono. Oppure c'è sempre Aruba.

Alex, you may ask Master (Vgmaker's admin) to get hosted from Tiscali.
Well, sometimes its banners are really noisy but the service looks great. Or you can always use Aruba.

I've spoken with him, 2 days ago.
Yes, it's a chance. But we all will do this only if this will fail.
Looking around, isn't beautiful to see a community like this trying to save itself? We will try till all possible energies will be available.
It's not only the bandwith: it's also the spirit behind.
Charas is totally selfmade: it's users created this community, not me. And we're growing together, in every sense.
This is why i think we have, at least, to try.

and one last thing : Support Area, high quality miscellanous resourcing by Charas!

isn't it miscellaneous?

Ups, yes it is, sorry...
Dutch version uploaded.
Check if it's all ok, you want.
Thank you, Cosmo!

I was planning on doing this on school, but since I can't motivate people to do that, I will ask you guys.

You all know the song "If I Had Words", right? If not, download the MIDI file and search for the lyrics. Then, if you got the money, buy a microphone if you don't have one. We could all sing that song for this site, as a... something for the site.

I will create a metronome for the ones who don't know what the rythm is.

Of course, I will do the first part... which is actually the same as the following parts...

No, i don't know it too.
But this sounds as great idea! May you provide links for both midi and lyrics?

Charas has members from all over.   Shipping would be a huge problem, costs would be thru the roof!
I haven't spoken to my publisher about the outsourcing, would have to tell them....it would only be for a select few copies, not many, it wouldn't even have to be that many....most books online are bought thru Amazon or Barnes and Noble and Booksamillion, sites like that.
Sharu from Taiwan asked me if she could buy it, but I doubt if my publisher would make it available for sale there.....that's why I'm asking....and I'm sure a lot of the other international members would feel the same way.
Sorry to clog this rather serious discussion with book matters, but since it's indirectly related to Charas survival....if a portion of book proceeds goes toward the maintenance of this site....then so be it.  

But, one question: your book will only be available in bookstores or (maybe) also in online stores?
Anyhow, don't worry about talking of your book: we all wish you the best. And not only for what you told about proceeds.
What i'm asking is if your publisher may accept online selling and support the eventual shipment. If so, maybe you can sell the book also here!
I'm sure here exists peoples that would like to buy it.
And this may also be the beginning of the already mentioned "support packs": all proceeds to you, then you can decide if and what to leave here.
Well, sorry for going that far
Let me know your thoughts.

Maybe, you could... well make games. Not like rm2k, but real games, for a job...

[Alex]

Gary, may you post midi and lyrics of that song?

[GaryCXJk]

Well, the lyrics are easy. The midi, meh, I'll have to make it myself.

Lyrics:

If I had words to make a day for you
I'd sing a morning golden and new
I would make this day last for all time
Give you a night deep in moonshine

It's easy as fu... pie.

hmm so your with a hosting partiner that doesn't have a fixed price. Tell ya what, I know a host that has a fixed price and offers everything you could possibly want and is cheap. http://www.beachcomber-creations.com. If you sign up say dark-dragons.net refered ya so I can get a month free

[Alex]

I know we have also other host possibilities, but...
This is similar to a "quest", in some way.
Just autoquoting me:

It's not only the bandwith: it's also the spirit behind.
Charas is totally selfmade: it's users created this community, not me. And we're growing together, in every sense.
This is why i think we have, at least, to try.

And now we began to try.
The support page is online.
Now it's time to wait for other works to put on there and to see if i'll never receive something from that page...
I'll do also a contributions thanx page, if something will arrive.

Sincerely, if this will not work...
Ok, other host.
Ok, banners form that host.
But i think we will have to consider Charas half defeated, for what (IMHO) it could rappresent.
Hope it will never happens.

Here, I made an animated GIF for the support area. Sorry if it's a bit small, but it would have looked odd if it was bigger.

[Alex]

Hey, that's cool!
Thank you!
The idea of an anim gif is great!
But... may i ask you some modifications before uploading?
1) May you create it bigger? it would help giving better anim effect and make the text more readable. This way ou can also put a bg image (a standard bg, charas logo or other), why not?
2) Is possible to change the font color (or the bg color)? Red on white unfortunatly is really hard to read...

[FFL2and3rocks]

Okay, I'll change it. Dunno about the background image though.

[FFL2and3rocks]

How's this?

[Alex]

Yeah, thanks!
Uploaded!

[GaryCXJk]

Well, maybe I'll have time to make a Flash promo to put on my site. And maybe post on Newgrounds, but that isn't really allowed, so...

Anyways, when it's done (if I'll start) I'll send it by e-mail.
