Website problems & how you can help
Hi guys, you might have noticed that last weekend, the website was down for about 10 hours, which is the longest it’s been since launch :-S
I had to perform some fixes, which meant waiting on support staff at the hosting company, and ended up paying for a different hosting band to make sure the website wasn’t hitting memory limits. Which means, the hosting now costs more :-/
How you can help is to donate to the server costs, which currently now is $29 per month. Here’s the options:
| $20 – Donate (almost) a month’s hosting The website costs $348 per year in hosting costs + $35.30 for domain registration. Covering the month’s hosting would be an excellent gift. |
|
| Donate a specific amount Choose your own amount. I drink lots of tea when working on the site, how about donating to some Earl grey? |
|
| $1 per month – Hero membership A monthly donation of just $1 makes you a hero. With Hero membership you can proudly display your avatar on every post, so everyone knows you donate. More info here. |
Many thanks to those who’ve already donated
During the website crisis (a very stressful time for me!), I got an email notifying me of a donation, which lifted my spirits like you wouldn’t believe! So it helps on many levels. Here’s the members who’ve donated recently:
- Cubanwriter
- Kraken
- Trayce
- And one anonymous member
Thanks so much dudes! And if you haven’t donated, remember that it’ll mean the world to me, even if it’s a small amount. We need to keep those servers funded!
