Has Tuncer - or whatever benevolent ubermensch who runs this show - got a tip jar somewhere for hosting fees where we can toss him a few bucks as way of thanks? (Or should we just buy more games from the MGS?)

I would donate to a tip jar for updating our IPB to a non-dinosaur version.

I think we are in fact surviving on the scraps falling beneath the MGS's table.

Yeah, I assumed that was the case. But I have no qualms helping out more directly if that option was available.

I figure some day we will hit the forums and get an error 404.  A tip jar might help, it might not.  I do know that if it were in place there would be a monthly begging for tips and I don't want to be the one to do that.  I could assign a "tip hawker" to do it though.  I nominate nick68k for the esteemed position should such a thing come to pass.

Happens to us all, sadly.

I was thinking about this just the other day, what a big loss it would be to lose these forums. I wondered if establishing some kind of plan B would be an idea anyone else would be interested in. Google Groups came to mind as a possibility. That’s only based on my imagination of what Google Groups is though. I have never used it. My thought was to have that setup but not actually use it until this goes down. Now that I think of it though, maybe Discord would serve the backup purpose just as well and in case of an apocalypse here, it could be our Vault until we established a new presence in the internet wasteland somewhere.

I was gonna say discord is a prime candidate if this ever goes down. There is also a steam group although those are far inferior to discord, but they are built in to steam which is something most of us use.

Let's just not have these forums fail though. I'll start buying full price games of MGS if I have to.

But I'm IMG Pro, bro !!

Given that I'm still accessing the IMG Forum at 2400 baud, I didn't know what Discord was. But thanks to Gopher I can see that it seems like a good plan.

There is already a Discord group for IMG that many of us belong to.  Get Discord (free) and post your discord ID here then I'll invite you.  It can be our bomb-shelter/clubhouse.

We need some new life on the discord, it's literally just Rakden's twitter feed right now (not that that's a bad thing)
