i hit the button to post something. a screen comes up telling me wp's busy and meanwhile, why not watch a video of alex speaking at an autism conference.

sure, ok, so i click play.

"this video has been removed due to a terms-of-service violation."

can someone explain this to me?

(btw, it took 3 minutes to post this question, due to pages loading so slowly. more, i guess, since i haven't actually hit "post" yet and then waited for *that* page to load).

WP is having technical problems and is not operating on all its cylinders. That is why we have the donation hat out to get new servers and (I hope) new software.

New forum software? May be nice. Though you know, Vbulletin (I have a legit copy) is like what? $300? Maybe less? It is powerful as hell, very customizable, and has many feature WP forums are lacking.

They WHAT? Aw HELL no. Those mindfucks let Autism Speaks post their BS but take down our video? That is f****d up. I am considering writing a petition to YouTube over this. I bet it was some stupid f**k from Autism Speaks who flagged the video making YouTube think it was a violation.

Post it again, we need to keep that video online. Hell, send it to everyone and have them post it simultaneously. That'll keep them from deleting it again.

If you are as angry as you seem to be, I recommend deep breaths before you implode.

That'd be good, but they're having trouble getting enough money to upgrade the hosting, let alone spending a few hundred dollars on new software!

What YouTube rules did the WP video break, then?

What exactly are the hosting problem?

I mean, Fatcow and Bluehost offer unlimited bandwidth and storage. Both are easy to work with and secure. http://www.bluehost.com/tell_me_more.html is an idea. Its $100 a year. Seriously.

Then how come they want $4,800? I'm so damn confused, especially since it was about $3,400 a few days ago!

The question was addressed in another thread; the original estimate was based on current figures instead of projected for the new server, which led to the adjustment.
