Recently I have focused a substantial amount of time on creating a new layout for the Darkness Echo. With an all new approach I shall take with the coding, as well as enormous updates and such, unfortunately the time has come to move from Geocities and buy a domain.
Domains and webspace often cost a large amount of money, and finding a reliable host is something that takes time. Fortunately I have narrowed down my choices to a web hosting service that gives me a choice of operating systems as well as different packages. The lowest I have found that includes free domain registration will cost about eight to ten dollars a month.
At this moment I would like to know if anyone, any member or supporter, would like to donate a small amount of cash towards this endeavor. I am not asking for large amounts, for a majority of the cost I can put on my own shoulders; but if you have a dollar or two lying around that would be fine. And before questions come up concerning this, I AM NOT REQUIRING MEMBERS TO PAY WHATSOEVER, just asking if they would like to support DE in its move on up the ladder. If you are interested please post here, or e-mail me.
In any case, no matter what, DE will be moving to a new domain very soon. And with this domain change will come a total revamping of the entire site, a new layout, and many other new features.

The site is still going to be the Darkness Echo. When we get past Act 3 and go on into the next plotline it will stay DE, but the whole "Eve of the Machine" thing will change. I would probably try to reg www.darknessecho.com, and if that's taken then www.darknessecho.net. About sending money in I will have to figure out how we can do it; either via postal service or PayPal or something similar. The actual transmission of money is yet to be outlined.

Register the domains quickly! There's a certain company that tracks which domains you look at, but don't buy, then they reserve it for themselves so that if you really want it, you must buy it for more from them!!!
It happened to my mom, but she didn't buy it. Register quickly. Sounds like a good idea.
