Misaka Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 It's faster but yea not $200/month faster. $200 should be able to pay for us. There's a problem that needs fixing. Viper did say you guys were letting spiders in too. Is that right? well as long as luuv doesn't remove the forced registration page that should stop it but I doubt it although KN should have more say since it is his server so the viewing should be his choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
