Do you happen to know what page you saw that link on?
The correct link at the top of all the forms pages is: https://army.ca/forums/account/upgrades
I suspect, though that an older link still exists somewhere out there.
Many thanks all, I’m going to do a deep dive this weekend, but through the generous support of so many, we are in good shape!
I truly appreciate the depth of the support, thank you all!
Cheers
Mike
Thanks for your patience folks. There is now a "Donate" link at the top that takes you to https://army.ca/donate. The payment info on that page now works again. :)
As a cost saving measure some months back I let the Milnet.ca domain lapse, but hadn't cleaned out all of the references to that...
As a follow-up post, I'll collect and answer your questions here.
FAQs
Can you replace the lost income? As the work funding Army.ca is not my full-time job, I'm not really in a position to replace that funding by picking up another contract.
Can you move to a cheaper hosting service? Cheaper...
Folks, I wanted to provide an update as a few things have changed recently.
Bottom line up front: We have incurred some big server costs while our key source of funding has dried up. Army.ca is no longer financially self-sustaining.
The Funding
Very few folks know that Army.ca has been...
It’s not you, it’s me. The server keeps running out of memory and the search service crashes. I’ve added some scripting to auto-restart it, but it seems to work maybe 1/3 of the time. More investigation needed!
Folks,
Due to the constant stream of spam, I have changed things so that newly registered users cannot post new threads here. They must wait a cooling off period, after which they can post. I am hoping this will be sufficient to reduce the number of bot posts that the Staff have to constantly...
Part of some recent cost-cutting measures, Milnet.ca and a few other lesser used domains were handed back into the void. Army.ca, Navy.ca, and Air-Force.ca all still work. :)
hi there,
No real deactivation method, if you want to pause you can just not log in until/unless you want to come back. If you want to clean up any publicly identifiable details I can delete/change so or all of your profile.

I can remove your account, but first I typically double check and see if you are sure that you want to proceed. Account deletion cannot be undone, nor will you be able to return under a new account. There are often less destructive solutions, so if you're willing I'd be interested in hearing the...
Can confirm. Made some changes yesterday morning that didn’t help, then made it even worse last night. Finally got things somewhat in order this morning.
More to come!
One of the "will likely make things worse" measures I put in place is to shut down the server when load gets heavy. For now at least, you may see occasional server unavailable messages that appear right away vs. slow load times.
We had a lot of these "cooldown" periods today.
Made some more server changes. Just as likely to make things worse as anything , but at least it may help me zero in on the cause.
