Hey guys.&nbsp; I am no longer going to host the IDL website.&nbsp; I&#039;m not really that involved with IDL anymore, and it takes me way too long to get around to updating it with changes or whatever.&nbsp; I am willing to host until the domain expires, which is &quot;04-May-2013 22:16:32 UTC&quot;.&nbsp; This is hopefully sufficient notice.&nbsp; Of course this doesn&#039;t mean data loss or anything, I&#039;ll provide database dumps.<br /><br />What does this mean?&nbsp; Well let me break it down:<br /><br />[list]<br />[li]Someone with a webserver needs to host the IDL website, forums and wiki.[/li]<br />[li]Someone needs to take over the Amazon S3 account where all demos are stored.[/li]<br />[li]Someone has to take ownership of the domain name.[/li]<br />[li]Someone needs commit access to the Bitbucket site where IDL.org&#039;s code is stored.[/li]<br />[/list]<br /><br />Re: Website/Forums/Wiki: Hosting the site itself is pretty easy.&nbsp; You need PostgreSQL (MySQL is not an option because it doesn&#039;t store milliseconds in its datetime fields), Kyoto Tycoon, and some Python dependencies (Flask, boto, etc.) but it&#039;s pretty easy to set up, and I&#039;d be happy to assist anyone looking to run it.<br /><br />I had to hack this version of SMF to run on PostgreSQL, and to this day there are dumb glitches.&nbsp; I would therefore suggest that whomever takes over use different forum software and archive these old forums (which I will not host, to be clear).&nbsp; The IDL site is tied to SMF, however, meaning that if the new maintainer chooses different forum software, it&#039;s possible the site needs modified to work with the new forums.&nbsp; I would be happy to help with that.<br /><br />Re: S3: I&#039;m not sure if I can &quot;transfer&quot; the S3 account to someone.&nbsp; It&#039;s possible someone would have to create their own S3 account and copy all the stuff.&nbsp; S3 is amazingly cheap though, I think I pay like $.30/mo., and that 1-time transfer would probably cost us both $5.&nbsp; We&#039;ll cross that bridge when we get to it though.<br /><br />Re: Domain Name: My host tends to be a little incompetent, so I&#039;m not sure if transferring the domain name will go smoothly or not.&nbsp; Just a heads up.<br /><br />Re: Bitbucket: It&#039;s really easy to fork IDL.org.&nbsp; I think Killingblair has already done this.&nbsp; I&#039;m totally fine with that; if that&#039;s easier then by all means do that.&nbsp; But I&#039;m also willing to give access or whatever to my repo.<br /><br />[hr]<br /><br />If no one steps up to host the site, I&#039;ll burn the demos and database dumps to some DVDs and mail copies to Ralphis &amp; Humanbones, and keep a copy for myself.&nbsp; That would be really dumb though.<br /><br />I won&#039;t just take volunteers.&nbsp; IDL&#039;s administration needs to figure out what to do going forward.&nbsp; Whoever they tell me to transfer the domain &amp; S3 account to is who I&#039;ll transfer it to.<br /><br />And finally, just so we&#039;re clear, this isn&#039;t some emotional &quot;goodbye IDL&quot; or &quot;I hate IDL&quot; thread.&nbsp; I think IDL&#039;s doing great.&nbsp; I&#039;m just giving as much notice as I can that I&#039;m gonna close my hosting account, and IDL.org is on it, so someone should save it.
