yup... we had another crash....
« on: September 17, 2013, 08:22:48 AM »
There were technical issues with the hardware over the weekend.


Raine has a new server waiting for us which should stabilize things... we just have to get the site moved over to that new server and reconfigured...
(which will take a bit of effort and time - over the years, this site has grown fairly massive. :) )

Is there any legs in having a contribution fund set up through paypal??  I would happily give a couple of £/$/€ a month to the site to find a solution to these issues. 


I really like this site but recently it has been HARD to love it.

Given that, as Kindred said above, the server is already in place, I think that your kind offer is unnecessary.  I'm sure that Raine will let us all know if funding ever becomes an issue :).

Wow you can't give money away!   ;D


Joking aside its something I was thinking a while ago.  A discrete Paypal function at the bottom of the left hand nav column...  People can donate as they see fit and the money can be spent wisely for the community..


Ok maybe I have my head in the clouds...

Psshhh. Only if you're a US Resident. If the donations go to Rusty Shackleford, to an offshore account, there's no worries.

Rusty can send "gifts" to certain persons and then everybody's happy. Or you could be a charity, supporting people with chronic gaming habits. Make it sound like you're a gambling support group or something.

Not that I've ever considered fraud before. Rusty. Shackleford.
