Hi Martin, Karl and all the others,
I am a little sad to see the problems from this unique page. We are like a big family and everybody helps here the other person. I am worried that this will be maybe in the future not anymore in that way. Is there anything that we can do to help?

Umm... I'll translate for ya :D
He wants to know if we(being VBForum Members) can help out in anyway to get VB Forums back to its orginal tip top condition.
(thats what u were trying to say yeah?)
You are looking for sponsors? Is there anything what we can do that this page stays alive in a way as we like it?
money problems? or other kind of problems?

The problem with VB Forums at the moment is that VB Bulletin, who hosts the site on their servers, has gone an died on us or something. Karl's never mentioned anything about being short of money so....
I think we just have to find a safe server so that the problems can get fixed without it going down again. :D
I ask a friend of mine, maybe we have the chance to use his SQL-Server. He run a very big webpage and have a lot of space left. I will ask him. Other people here should ask Banks or Insurance companies to sponsor VBForum. I think there is a good chance that a Bank would spend every month about 5000 USD to sponsor this page. I will ask for sure some friends in important positions in big companies. I hope that other people do it too.
Let's do something .....

man if i could pay my bills i would donate :-) this forums helped me so much.
.... I seriously doubt that VB forums is in trouble. Karl is quite capable of handling the situation.
I have the feeling that all this problems started with the new look of the forum, why not go temporary back to the old forum style until the problems are solved? It is for example even not possible to write private messages anymore, because the side have some problems.
