A Little VC10derness has moved! New address, same site!!!!!!

It has finally happened: A Little VC10derness has moved to its new home.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to get myself some dedicated server space to get over the problems of pop-up ads from my forwarding address (the fly.to/VC10 address, although this continues to work!!) and problems caused by the site growing.
I started this site on the 25 Mb of webspace I got from my ISP. After a while I got myself a free account with 20 Mb of webspace to host some flightsim files on. That lasted for a while. Then I heard that lycos was offering 50 Mb of free space with an SQL database, so I took that, started the forum, and used the space to stick the photos that I put in the new photo section, as they wouldn't fit on the original 25 Mb bit of serverspace anymore. This lasted for a while and went pretty well, but the downside of the lycos space was that I couldn't put webpages there as these were infected with ads (it was free, remember?). My forum remained unassaulted for a while, but a couple of months ago this ended. I then began looking for some new server space. And this is the result: http://www.vc10.net!
A major change in more ways then just the address, as up till now I wasn't investing any money into this site, apart from what I already paid my ISP. With the change of server this is no longer a free hobby, I am now paying for my server space and internet address. From the feedback I've gotten over the years this website has proven to be a very rewarding hobby, and worth investing in. So here we are.
The Fly.to/VC10 address still works as it now redirects to this server. If you have bookmarks or links pointing to home.planet.nl, or home01.wxs.nl you'll get a message about the move and will be forwarded. The easiest option is of course to link to the new address: http://www.vc10.net.
Along with the move you'll find some new items scattered throughout the site, there's a new story in Memories, new photos in Incidents and Accidents, new photos in Other Operators. Etcetera. I also cleaned up the site, all the photos open in their own little frame. The drawback is that Javascript must be enabled for this, but who hasn't these days!! A lot of photos have also been resized to a larger size as my screen isn't that restricting anymore (I used to run this site from my laptop with 800x600 pixels maximum screensize!).
Now that this is done I can concentrate on adding more info to the site! Enjoy!
