Greetings,

As many may have noticed the site has become very slow and has been down from time to time in an increasing fashion over the last year. This is due to an ever increasing amount of traffic that is coming to the site. The increased traffic is a good thing but on the negative it makes the site nearly impossible to use on busy days.

For these reasons I am hoping to get some help to raise some funding to move the site to a vps from the current shared server. A vps is unfortunately a little more money than I feel comfortably forking out for on my own so before making this move I would like to raise about 2 years of server fees put away before hand. This means I would like to try and raise about $1200 to help keep the project running smoothly for the next two years.

Any support that can be provided would be much appreciated and would further go to improve the project.

VERSION 0.4.95
