Title: Web Hosting payment
Post by: BWolfe on April 01, 2016, 08:50:53 AM
Hey WOTA folk,

I've been paying for the WOTA web hosting since around 2005.  Since I haven't been in WOTA for 7 year or so I think it's time for the club to start paying this (it's only $5.00 a month!)

Not saying I'll never be back, because I certainly miss trials.  But busy with other stuff (and my wife started riding 3 years ago, which is keeping me very busy!)

Can officers please take up this topic and get in touch with me?  You can reach me at bentley.wolfe@gmail.com

Thanks so much for funding this site for all these years Bentley. 

What does the WOTA membership think about doing away with this site altogether, including both these forums and the "Home" page that includes the schedule and map?   You can replace them with a choice of several free options, with the easiest in my opinion being Facebook.  You can redirect the wisconsintrials.org domain name to the Facebook page or whatever you choose.  The domain name is owned by Bentley and is paid through May 1, 2018, so you have a couple of years to get people used to going to the Facebook presence when looking for info on WOTA events.

Another free option that I'm familiar with is a Google site.  That requires a little more web knowledge to set up but somebody currently active in the club probably has that.  Bentley and/or I would be happy to discuss options with anybody who has questions.  PM me here for my phone number.

Dan and Bently,  Shari and I have thought for a while that WOTA should be paying this.  We will be in touch and reviewing our options.
