Just a question to the good folks behind this site, no insult intended, by how come it's not rfgeneration.org? It's clear that there's no profit (hooray no ads! laugh) but I feel a little hesitant submitting details to any .com (thanks for nothing gamespot grrr).
Is there any reason that I can know about? Or is it private details?

Uh, when you think of a website the most popular extension is .com

We're not a commercial website (we do this for fun), but we are all about market reach, and .org just does not have the reach that .com has.

Also, Michael Collins bought rfgeneration.com. He took his reasoning to the grave.

Okay, I see, so now worries then. I feel more comfortable knowing it's in good hands, thanks.

No problem. So long as we can continue to pay for server costs ourselves, expect no ads, but always remember that this site is in no way corporate, and in fact is run by a couple of average Joes.

Yup, we make no profit on the site.  Unless you count paying for the site, in which case we're making negative profit Smiley

I'd also like to mention to the topic creator that getting a .org ain't hard. I have a .org and I think it was cheaper and easier to get than a .com. So a .org really doesn't add a level of trustworthiness to a site.  Wink

Yeah, but the site should be shortened to "rfg" too then Tongue so you get www.rfg.rfg
Now that's style! Cheesy

A question (if I may): does it cost alot to keep a site like rfgeneration running?
(If I'm not allowed to know that kind of info, no problem)

Ouch, that's more than I expected. I was thinking around 20-30/month, but 90...that's not nothing Shocked

Maybe I'll donate. But I'm going to wait a bit first, I haven't been around here for long. First have to make sure that I really wanna stay here. (I think I do though)

With the weak dollar a contribution of €10 would already make for $16, so that's nice in case I would donate.

We're on a dedicated host because our site demands resources. So far, the dedicated box is running well.

Let's hope it stays that way the, so the costs don't go up any further.
