VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 22, 2004 At some point in the next few months I will be upgrading our service, one of the options that I may be adding is email addresses for anyone that would want one. Before I do that though I want to see if there is any interest in having your own STARTREKFANS.NET email address. It would be your username@startrekfans.net, for instance my email address is VaBeachGuy@startrekfans.net. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BakulaBabe 2 Posted March 22, 2004 Great idea - count me in! :) I could use another e-mail account. My Yahoo address is getting too cluttered to manage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edmcgon 0 Posted March 23, 2004 Sounds like a good idea. I have two questions: 1. Would there be any space limitations? 2. Any kind of SPAM blocking? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valeris 2 Posted March 23, 2004 That would be fun. Count me in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Bolivar 0 Posted March 23, 2004 So what else do you plan on, or are thinking of, adding to the site? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 23, 2004 Sounds like a good idea. I have two questions: 1. Would there be any space limitations? 2. Any kind of SPAM blocking? Yes, there would have to be a space limitation simply because the email that each user uas stored in their email account is stored on our server and takes away from the total space allotment that I pay for. The email uses Spam Assassin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted March 23, 2004 So what else do you plan on, or are thinking of, adding to the site? The main reason for upgrading my service is for reasons that members would never see. Things like Bandwidth allotments, storage space, MySQL Databases and Sub-Domains. "Bandwidth allotments" is the amount of traffic that goes through the site each month. Our current allotment is 30GB per month Max. As of right now we have used 24.73GB for this month. The storage space os the amount of room the board can use on the server. We are allotted 300mb of space and are currently using 170.23mb. We are currently allotted 2 SQL Databases, we are using one for the board and one for the Enterprise Database. The SQL databases are the place where the posts and other data are stored. And we are currently allotted 3 Sub-Domains, we are using 2 of them. http://ferengirules.startrekfans.net and http://episodeguide.startrekfans.net So the upgrades I would be planning would be more "behind the scenes" then anything else. The email addresses would probably be the most visible change, as well as maybe a new section or 2 using different sub-domains. There's other aspects but these would be the ones that most directly affect the board and members. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mj 7 Posted March 23, 2004 I think it is a fine idea. I probabbly will not use it however. I already have three e-mail addresses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Shirt Volunteer 0 Posted March 23, 2004 Thanks, but the last thing I need is another e-mail address - I, like mjham, also have 3 already; actually, I have 5, but I don't really use 2 of them since they came for free with other services. I'm really not clear on how having an STF e-mail address would change anything or be of any benefit. PMs are sufficient. Having another one just means having to remember another password and more time wasted logging in. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but it is something I would never touch and I just don't see the point of spending time logging into and checking yet another account. I think this site is great the way it is and the other behind the scenes changes mentioned above sound like they'd have more impact (at least from Admin's point of view).
