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.

Over this significant period (measured in internet years) the importance of an online presence has increased, and website availability has become more important. The Escouts Management recognise the inconvienience caused with... [Read More]

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

So Escouts: Community is large and a valuable resource for Scouting in the UK (& beyond), we know that, you... [Read More]

[Community/Forum] - Forum Portal Restored
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]
