Great offer for new sponsors

Dear all, In the light of the last month not so very good performance on this website, I have realized that a boost in the server and software is required. But that is not free! I need both services in the way of ASP.NET developers who can help me and do the conversion from the current ASP3 (Snitz + Access) based system to the new ASP.NET (Community Server + SQL Server) site. And I’m also looking for a replacement of the web hosting service I’m using now, and upgrade it to a Dedicated Server. I will therefor give all new sponsors a special offer for the next period (no end to be specified - but until we have the cost covered). Sponsor (US $40 minimum / year) - you get registered as a Sponsor with this label under your name in postings. You can post a maximum of 2 ad per year in the classified job ad areas (normal 1 ad). Silver Sponsor (US $200 / year minimum) - You can post a maximum of 12 ads per year in the classified job ad areas (normal price is US $ 400). Gold Sponsor (US $500 / year minimum) - You get a logo (max. 240x45 pixels - 10Kb) and ad type display (text only - max. 200 chars) listed on a page here with other sponsors. Gold sponsors will also have their logo and link sequenced in rotation on the home page. You can post a maximum of 24 ads per year in the classified job ad areas.(*) Ads posted by Gold Sponsors are listed in Bold on the job page. A max of 5 members who are employeed by the gold sponsor will have a Gold Sponsor plate on their profile (upon request). (normal price is US $ 1000) Platinum Sponsors (US $2000 / year minimum) - You get a logo (max. 240x90 pixels - 20Kb) and a ad type display on a page with the other sponsors - platinum sponsors are listed first. Platinum Sponsor will have their logo and link sequenced in rotation on the home.asp page (everytime a gold sponsor get 1 display a platinum get 2 displays). You have no maximum of ads per year in the classified job ad areas. Ads posted by Platinum Sponsors are listed in Bold on the job page. All members who are employeed by a platinum sponsor will have a Platinum Sponsor plate on their profile (upon request). (Normal price US $ 4000). Alternatively if you would like to offer us the help of either donating a ASP.NET developer (est. time 40-50 hours), or you can offer us a dedicated server (incl. backup, Windows Server and MS SQL Server), then please contact me, then you will get a sponsor ship setup to the equal value. To you the members, if you are enjoying this site and would like to see it even better, then please see if you know anyone who should become a sponsor (or just a donor), then please tell them about this offer. Best regards, Erik P. Ernst, webmaster, Microsoft MVP - Navision

Let me be the first to sponsor under this offer. I think we all know that Erik has done an immense job to keep this group alive for 10 years. He has done this mostly from his own pocket, and on his own time. The topic of generating revenue to cover costs comes up from time to time, and I think we all respect the fact that Erik has never asked us to pay to get help here, or sold us things to pay costs. I think we all know how much this forum helps us all, I have been helping Erik out where I can, but I know he needs more help at this point. These are great one off offers, and I will go for at least a look at either a Silver Status. I have gotten a lot out of this group, and the work that Erik has done, so lets go… Erik again thanks for what you have created for us.

Hi Eric, I never realized that this was running on Access. Would it be possible as a short term fix to at least move to the SQL version?

Hi, Erik how do I send you my contribution? Anna
