Closure of Free Web Hosting
Aug 25, 2010 - 11:23 PM - by Richard
Richard's Avatar During its existance, Escouts has provided free hosting to UK Scouts for around 8 years, (we've been in existance over 9 years). During that time we've saved UK Scouting somewhere in the region of £100,000 - £150,000 and thats a conservative estimate.

[Community] Clarification of Rules / Procedures etc
Jul 28, 2010 - 1:32 AM - by Richard

Jul 20, 2010 - 12:01 AM - by Magician
Magician's Avatar Hey All,

After a week and a bit of being broken, I have taken some time tonight to fix the portal.

As way of an apology, I have also included a new feature that was to be put in place with the pending VB4 upgrade! - See who can spot it first!

As always, any issues, contact me here!

[Hosting Server] 19/07 Hosting Service Update
Jul 19, 2010 - 4:10 AM - by Richard
Richard's Avatar As you will be aware Hosting has been offline for a number of weeks. We have had a serious of technical problems, the latest was a hard
drive failure.

We have been doing our best to get as much of the data on the hard drive back as possible, but fundementally the time and resource a free host has is VERY limited.

We are ... [Read More]
