I can offer up local hosting for free, including MySQL database and PHP cabable servers.

Will also do the registration of the domain.
 
702/CAPE TALK ARE TALKING ABOUT IT.

I cant tune in via streaming because of a missing plugin that FF3 wont install for some reason - I blame Vista...:(

Will hopefully be a podcast about this...

Hey kingmonty, thanks man. badburn has been in touch and has made the same offer which I graciously accepted. Should anything fall through on that side, it is good to know that we have a backup - thanks.

Do you know of anyone who might be willing to design a simple website for us? :o

I will try get hold of someone I know... He does the apple store website.

Everything will have to happen fast. From what I heard on SAFM this morning, the matches on the tour to the British Isles will be played without the emblem.

Hi DJK, way not use the existing website as mentioned earlier? Don’t get me wrong I’m all for a website in support of our individual cause, but given the time constraints we should perhaps concentrate our efforts in supporting the existing efforts.

Like I posted earlier - that website does not appear to be monitored anymore as is evident by the lack of response from the webmaster, and has hardly any traffic whatsoever. Combine this with them doing nothing to promote themselves, not staying up to date with news and having no option at all to sign anything meaningful like a petition, and I honestly believe we would be supporting a doomed cause.

If we want to make a difference as a community, then we need some kind of control over the content of what we put out IMO. I also believe that we will put a lot more effort and feel a sense of ownership for something that we have done ourselves, which in turn should result in more exposure and support, even if only locally on this site...;)
 
Full support

I am pledging my full support to this cause. I am making the www.savethespringbok.co.za website available for this cause.

We must put some structure in place to get this thing going. Anyone wanting to contribute in any way is welcome to contact me at any time.

If we have some clever web designers out there to help with the design of the site, it will be very helpful.

Just remember, to only have a website will not make a difference, we must make this a collective effort to really make ourselves heard.

Long live the SPRINGBOK !!!

Aha, he lives!!! Good to hear from you. I will certainly be in touch shortly. Well then DDV Tech has the right idea to leverage your existing site and work on it.

I am putting together an email campaign and would like to direct readers to your site. But before we do that, I believe that there needs to be an option to sign the petition digitally on your website, limited to one entry per email address and securely stored with the appropriate privacy disclaimer.

Lets work together to make our voices heard. I will PM you regarding this as well but please stick around here and as well...
 
I am here and will stay here. I agree fully that some work needs to be done, and we have no time to waste.
 
Ok good, PM sent.

I can register e-mail addresses on that site. It will be better that, when you send out marketing mails, the sending address is something like.

[email protected] it will be a fully functional pop3 address with smtp authentication.

Do you not think we need a fax number, I can register a 086 fax number so that we can receive faxes. The faxed will be converted into electronic format and delivered vie e-mail to an e-mail address or even multiple addresses.
