how can you put something in production when it is not working properly. Do 
you realise you are using the ilugc name? Why do you not develop on your local 
machine - or even on a staging server?

it has been released and is sitting on the internet and hundreds of people are 
using it. I suggest you switch it off. Further I feel your attitude is not in 
tune with the spirit of free software. Many people are coming forward to 
contribute, but you are refusing their help. If you develop in a proprietary 
manner, the site will be unsafe and frequently hacked. Ilugc is one of the 
biggest and best LUGs in the world and you have no right to spoil our name 
like this. Every one will laugh at us for putting up a half baked site in 
production. And you also have no right to build a site according to your own 
design without consulting the list. If you are serious about this, start a 
thread and ask for opinions. I do not consider your site the official site of 
ilugc, and I strongly object to your misusing the group name in this manner. I 
request you to hand over the domain to Bharathi or Raman and we will take it 
from their in a true FOSS manner.

As previously mentioned several times we have plenty of space on NRC-FOSS 
server and can host a site as Vamsee has suggested. Or a VPS costing 20$ a 
month, or even reliable shared hosting like webfaction which is even cheaper.
