We'd be happy to take any donations now - anything left over will carry over into the next quarter...

Many thanks for all the server donations. The second quarterly payment of £150 has been made and we have funds leftover for to go towards the next quarter.

This shows a great spirit within this community. Just out of interest, has anyone made an approach to a dedicated GSP such as wireplay or multiplay? We used to have a thriving GPL community on wireplay and it cost us nothing other than a donation of some old bits of spare hardware. Just an idea...

A 100% dedicated commercial server would be great. We have that with T7 but it's shared. What we are really on the look out for is another rock solid secondary server.

Not sure about Server 2008 but it doesn't run on Server 2003. Or I didn't manage it anyway.

Thanks for your reply, so I'm not the only one having problems with Windows Server versions :'( ...you might see, I'm at a standstill with ideas for a solution. Edit:Forgot to tell, GTL & GTR2/PnG runs fine on the 2008 Server

Have you tried running it in compatibility mode for Windows 2000 or XP?

Might be worth another thread. Is there any problem running all of this on a non-server OS. None of the Administration tools are of any use for these kind of connections in any case. The pinch points would be the Net connection and the hard disk/memory subsystems. Bog standard XP or W7 should suffice. No?
Another question. When does the next quarter start and do/should we contribute to the quarterly cost for Simracing.org as well? I believe Vos is in charge of organising that. Is that correct?

We start collecting around about now - will look into it and post something up shortly. As to contributing to simracing.org.uk as well - they won't say no and we do get the use of their site/facilities ex gratia. Our UKGPL collection is purely to contribute towards the cost of our server.

Cheers, Tim. I was aware it was three months but I think last time I clicked on Donate button by the meter which I obviously can't do at the mo. Are you the main man in this?

I'll just clarify SRou and UKGPL's relationship as far as donations go, if I may (well, I'm going to anyway. ), as I've been asked to do so in a PM. To put things very simply, there isn't one. UKGPL collect costs towards their server, and SRou collect costs towards their server, iRacing hosting and other miscellany as required. There's no overlap between the two. The web site, database and associated machinery itself is hosted under the auspicies of Gizmo's Gazebo and I've always paid for this out of my own pocket, my contribution to UKGPL for the many seasons I enjoyed racing amonst you. The only contribution I've ever taken on that side of things is towards the UKGPL.com domain name.
