How much is a host that would take all the data?

It's only £25 but it's not an amount I can pay or I would have been happy to.

have you got a paypal account? I'd happily contribute a fiver to go towards the work you've done. And I'm sure there would be four others around who would feel the same way.
It's only the cost of a pint and a bag of McCoys after all.
Or ask each person using it to gift you a couple of quid.

I was planning on adding a donate button as I expand the site. If I am going down the paid route, which it looks like I'll have to, then it will become the Imperial Archive and will eventually encompass all the races from 40k.
If anyone does wish to donate then my paypal is streetracerstyling@hotmail.com. I will come up with some sort of way to give people recognition for it, ideas?

Banners... or golden regiments at the top of the list

Not bothered about recognition personally, it's not the reason why I'd contribute.
When this gets up and running again, and it will, how would this be as a kind of structure (from the users point of view). And I can just about re-boot a computer so please bear with me. I have no idea of web building.
I enter the site and I see the usual buttons for login bits, Instructions on how to use the features (uploading entries, pictures), Site rules. usual stuff.
And one button for each codex/race. Something like that.
When I click onto the Imperial Guard button (for example) I see all the different armies that subscribers have entered. I can click on whatever army and read (or enter my own) general fluff about that army. But these are the armies, not the regiments or units.
So at the bottom of someone's Army fluff is a list of all their regiments. These can be clicked on and the regiment fluff can be accessed/entered.
Then at the bottom of the Regimental fluff is a list of famous characters from that regiment.
And somewhere, as you have done, a place to enter regimental/unit campaigns and operations that can be clicked on and read. And each section (Army, Regiments, Characters) can load picture relevant to the entry.
Just an idea.
PM sent to BGF by the way

redcuffs, that is exactly how I would like to see the site working. As I had said before there were restraints to what I could do due to the restrictions of the web host and also the time I was willing to invest without knowing people would use it. Your passion for this idea has assured me that it is worth my time and hopefully other people will find a passion for it aswell.

Right, so exactly what do we need to do to get it up and running again? I really need to see the fluff I put up there last night as I didn't save a copy...

Unfortunately all the information on the site has been lost as the previous host has deleted it. The site will be back up with a new address and hopefully more features later tonight.

Bloody annoyed about that. Bloody unethical if you ask me. Did they not give you any warning or anything?
BGF, you know you have a lot of support from all of us. Please make an absolutely Kik asz site just to rub there nose in the steaming pile of poop that is their folly.
I'd put 4 entries up and wrote most of it whilst drunk. I can't write anything creative at all whilst sober. To get all that fluff up again I'm going to have to get drunk again.
Damnation !!!

A question to everyone.
Does anyone know of any other site like the one BGF has set up?
Either for 40K, Fantasy or any other game system either models or online games?

I would like to give a big thank you to my previous web host for closing the old site down and RedCuffs for helping fund the new one. This time it will be bigger and better. Nothing on there yet but it will be coming over the next few days. www.imperialarchive.com/

Try again, although it is just a landing page at the moment as I am having to re-write a lot of the code.

I am a little annoyed, I'm having to re-code more of the site than I hoped.
