So... Jolt?
I like Jolt, they're all gamers, but they're also good at making money 
There's various rumours around; the main one seems to be that they'll charge a low price (like the current cost of a round) for a couple of rounds (or maybe a year's access). Another strong rumour is the idea of nice prizes (better than the "old" PA's).
So what do people think? It DOES look like Jolt have bought PA, so...
Personally, I'm all for it!

Yeah, when you consider how long Jolt have been at the online gaming thing and are still in business, it bodes well.
Plus, I still have almighty power over GD pe0ns, so it can't be a bad thing.....

Looks like they are also a ISP aiming to signup gamers and they seems to make money from their ISP and hosting activities as well as from gaming.

Also I notice they can handle games servers for others.
https://secure.jolt.co.uk/index.php?page=managed.htm
Might mean they are only to be the host for the new game and are not the final owners.

Wrong m8
Nilly are jolt's preferred bandwidth supplier. Jolt is owned by Jolt and if we were losing money hand over fist we wouldnt be here to date
As soon as the DNS resolves properly to Jolt (not Nildram ) then we can finish sorting the forums properly

On the jolt box, the dns still sees the url pointing to the old forums which is prob why the v-host aint kicked in yet. Im guessing this should resolve pretty soon there

That's not fair! I know it's a cliché but NetGamers is "big enough to cope, small enough to care".
Sure, we're a little network, but I for one think the community spirit is ace - even if there are always a few detractors who never seem happy no matter what we do 
Anyway Hinch, I've pm'd you - if there's something I can do, which will make you happier, I genuinely want you to let me know.
Off topic, but I felt I had to comment!
M.
[edit]
There's always a reason to put ppl down, seems hinch was just trying to persuade ppl to go over to his net. Which is fair enough, cos I'd do the same
hinch on @#Aliennet
hinch using *.aliennet.org US ALiennet Server
hinch is an IRC Operator
hinch hinch is logged in as
Hinch End of /WHOIS list.
