Subject: Here I am...

I guys,

First, I have to apologize for disapearing for so long without letting you know where I was, and leaving the site offline...

I went away on vacations for three weeks, vacations that had to be planned in a little short notice (2 days), because of 2 projects that I'm working on right now... it was then or never. If I didn't take those vacations then, I really don't know when would be the next opportunity, so I took it.

When I came back I found that the site was down because I owe a lot of money to the hosting company... I asked them to be a little patient, but since they didn't get a response from me in those weeks I was away, they terminated the service. I can't really blame them... Since I'm buried in work as usual, I tried to put this matter off my mind for a while... stupid me... I should have come here a long time ago....

Well, I really can't afford to pay $700/month for the site anymore... the donations helped for a while, but, like many had said before, that wasn't a viable solution... I talked with a few hosting companies, but when they hear about the 50gb/month bandwith figures, they all say dedicated server, which would cost me the same I'm paying right now...

I really don't want to see the bmwe30.net site die, I love it, it has been a part of my life for the past 7 years, and you guys are a wonderful group. I just can't afford $700/month to keep it going (I owe $2.000 already).

I can see there are some ideas (like always), which I don't have the time to read right now, but I'll return tomorrow to read them all... I'll talk with you guys then, to see if we can find a way to keep the site alive.

I'm sorry again for disappearing for so long...

Best,

Gustavo Melo
