gingerbeer Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 QLDAF is moving...... We are moving the forum to a new server. The forum has had some slow times and caused dreaded chat-lag. Chatters have noticed and have been heard to say chat lags particularly around 10.00 pm. While that is past my bedtime, we need to address this. To combat this we are moving to a secure solid state server with monitored security. The expectation is this will give us 10x the current speeds. This will come at a cost, so we are declaring the move towards 10 Sponsors. That means there are 4 spots open. If you own a store, and are interested, or if you know a great store who is interested let them know that spots are available. We already have some applicants, but want to ensure that the correct choice is made to ensure that they are focused on our members, and also compliment the values and standard are existing sponsors have set. Applications are to be made confidentially to either myself or webmaster.... feel free to send a PM or give us a call. Please do not reply here. Please bear with us during the move.... hopefully we all survive to the other side..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigo Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Has any body asked Mark if he would be interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 @Craigo, I would love to have the store situated towards the North of Brisbane as a sponsor. One of the great stores in town. I have a lot of respect for the other things they do for the good of the hobby. I suspect one of our regular loved members works there and will let them know the option is here, if they want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbunamad Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) I should contact Annerley Aquarium and see if they are interested, Thinking outside the square how about KFC? Maccas? We all love junk food and they could use sponsorship fee as a tax writeoff. If they offered 10% discount to qldaf members we would stay away from Red Rooster and Hungry Jacks. Food for thought??

gingerbeer Posted October 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 The move is scheduled for Saturday night. Will occur after my bedtime, and Sunday morning we will either be in the brave new world, or lost in cyberspace and that is not a bad thing if you et these bikes..

Joshwd Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 [MENTION=231]gingerbeer[/MENTION] hey man you should get onto livefish australia. They mainly supply qld but do supply whole aus. I'm sure it would be great having them as a sponsor and getting some discounts on their huge range of livefish and plants. If you think its an alright idea and you are busy just pm me and I'll get onto them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
