magpies.net has provided internet services to fans of the Collingwood Football Club for over ten years.
-
- web hosting for unofficial Collingwood fan sites
- forum facilities
- dedicated chat (irc) servers running channels for Collingwood fans only
- free domain and web hosting for official Collingwood supporter/interest groups
- email facilities for supporter groups based on the magpies.net domain name or the domain name of the group
These services include:
All these services are provided free of charge to the end users.
magpies.net also hosts the incredibly successful ‘Nick’s Collingwood Page’, the oldest, continuously running AFL web site on the net, and its associated forum, the famous ‘Nick’s Bulletin Board’. Nick’s Collingwood Page and Nick’s Bulletin Board are managed and run by the community they serve. They both have (independant) management committees made up of users of the facilities and the bulletin board is moderated by its users.
All this costs money. Nick’s Collingwood Page and Bulletin Board alone upload 40-80 gbs of data into the net every month (depending on the time of the year and the team’s on-field success rate) and occupy 5gb of disc space, expensive stuff on the internet. Our only source of income is through sales of email addresses on the magpies.net domain – (Magpie Mail) and commission on DVD and video sales through Sports Delivered.
Please note that in order for commission to be paid you must connect to Sports Delivered using a link from this web site – like the banner link on the front of the Bulletin Board or the link above.
Donations of any amount are also gratefully accepted in any of the following ways:
