I have personally saved hundreds of $$ by following the suggestions and do-it-myself directions given by the members. To them, I thank you.
Unfortunately, the forums consume an incredible amount of bandwidth. To pay for such bandwidth is on the order of $200/month. The make the site affordable without constant donations or starting a business, most or all of the forums have to go. We use 3-4GB a DAY right now. -Lance

Bummer, but I see your point.
Any chance of archiving and selling all the main site info onto a cd for sale?
Goodluck and thanks for all the fish....

I hope the FAQs and other "more important" areas of contour.org can stay up once a new line is available. They do come in handy (although updating is slightly necessary). Thanks for all your work, Lance. Hope everything works out. Half my day is going away!! Ironically enough, the timing is good for me too. I have no idea exactly how much procrastination I would be doing in college this fall by surfing CEG... Oh well, at least I got my goal (thousand posts) in...

Lance,
Thanks for all you've put into the site, it's been great!
Is the mail list on Dan's m/c going to remain up?
{I remember when american.edu dissapeared and we went back and forth on list or bulletin board. Looks like those favoring mail list were the ultimate winners.}
What's ths tentative shut down date - I may want to archive some relevent stuff for personal use before the plug is pulled.
