You may have noticed some downtime of the forum in the last few weeks. This is due to the large amount of traffic the forum is now getting. I have been tweaking the server but at the end of the day it's time for new hardware. I've ordered a new server which should be available this weekend and should solve the downtime problems and increase the speed of the site. Its an uber super server with octoprocs and gigabananas and scsi's and flashy lights. Only problem is it costs a bloody fortune.
I'm not one to normally beg, but most any forum(especially big ones) usually have a donation section so users can help to pay for the costs involved in keeping us running.
We've got thousands of visitors to this site every day and if only a few of them donate then it will be a big help!
I have added a new section that you can get to by clicking the donate link (above left), this enables people to donate via paypal. Anyone who donates will be able to edit their user title and also get a lovely red colour for their displayed names in who's online and in forum posts. There may be more goodies for donaters in the future.. Who knows.
Anyway, thanks to everyone for making this a successful forum and please donate if you can! :eek:
 
To edit your usertitle go to UserCP and then Edit Profile, supposedly a box should appear that will let you tinker with your user title. As regards other methods of donations, I'm looking into it right now....
