Some time early this week, maybe even today, we will have YET another software update. If you find the site unavailable or extremely slow, this is why.
This is a last ditch effort to see if the update will fix the slow response times that we have been getting complaints about over the past few weeks. We need to make sure that all options are looked at before I go through the expense of moving to a faster server. A decision I will not take lightly.
Therefore:
If we need to move to another server, I will more than likely take "donations" to the site via Paypal to cover the increased cost. Right now as everyone knows, I am footing the bill for this site 100% without a problem but a faster server comes at a steeper price.
If the money starts to run dry from the donations (if we do that) and cannot keep up with the increased costs of the server, I will be forced to seek advertising, something that is not popular with the members of this board but realize, once I make a commitment to a faster server (if we need it) then I am the one financially responsible. I will have to do what I have to do. This is not about profit, just covering expenses.
If this has to happen and donations exceed expense, we will use the money for some fancy upgrades, site maintenance or maybe I will take a vacation.........:?
Anyway, have some patience.
