Sometimes i checkout CCC then i'm gone for another few days, or few weeks and all messages i wanted to read reply from are gone then. Your own rootserver with unlimited bandwidth, which is a zillion times more than what CCC needs, has a cost of 50 dollar a month (www.1and1.com) and a 60GB harddrive, or 75 euro in Europe (www.1und1.de). In case you co-share you can get this for 25 dollar a month at most. So total hosting costs from a root server are under 600 dollar a year. Even less than that if the bandwidth volume is under a GB or 50 a month. So adding more forums is a real peanut and with this software the CCC still is interesting for programmers to read in that case. >Hi all, >it seems that the the CCC these days is mainly about engine tournaments.
