Hey Mark and hey to all members of our Community!
I'm glad to be able to communicate with everybody again here. It took some days of frustration and hard work to get back after the former hosting company suspended my account - not only yeppie.org but all my sites. They threatened not to unsuspend my account if I would not delete the forum due to its "high" server load.
Well, the site has moved to another server now - reliable company, guaranteed cpu usage, faster machine, heavier bill. As this is a virtual private server and not shared hosting as before, we should be on the safe side now.
Please report any errors (homepage, forum and archives are supposed to work fine, ulisten does not yet) as always after a major change.
I'm happy now!

Yes...welcome back Yeppie...
Its not your fault their server was too feeble to perform a simple task, bet they were quick enough with their hand out for the money though...good riddance to bad rubbish I say.

Welcome back...
Thanks again for all your efforts.
Does it make sense to "pass the hat" as it were...
I've ordered books from New Zealand, model kits from the UK and military memoriabilia from the Ukraine. PayPal worked great each time.
How can we (collectively) help?

Reg, Thanks for your kind offer!
The financial status of yeppie.org (and me) is quite ok. Despite the new server, the few subscriptions pay for more than I have to spend on the site - if I don't take account of the time. But as I never did this for the money, everything is fine.
If you still feel the urgent and very much appreciated wish to assist, there is one thing you and every valued member can do:
Spread the word. Word of mouth (even if written in forums or blogs) is the best marketing concept. I know that from checking the website statistics, most new visitors come from sites where I or someone else has praised the great community and our sounds. New Sexsoundlovers are always good.

Hey,
Great to see you back.
I am active on a number of other boards and when they go down it is usually up to a few weeks at a time.
Cheers and hope we have a trouble free time with the new server.
