Let’s show some love for SDN (i.e. get the server fixed)

How much time do you spend on SDN?

SDN is a free and non-profit website. However, they are obviously growing and need to expand their bandwidth.

In the past 365 days, you have probably spent more than 3 hours on SDN (especially if you have 100+ posts not to mention those with 1k+!!!). If not, just wait for your addiction to grow

You have probably found at least some useful information or entertainment using this site.

What you can normally buy for $7.50 (approximately) usually lasts less than three hours:

2-3 beers
2-3 cappuccinos
2-3 slices of pizza
1 student or matinee movie ticket
1 appetizer at a fancy restaurant

What you can normally buy for $20 is not much more.

Donations = Bandwidth = Less time between refresh clicks

We all are or are soon to be poor students, but, really, this is a small amount of $$.

You can donate with your credit card through Paypal without setting up a Paypal account.

Go ahead and show some love.

An update...Thanks to those who have donated! I'm sure more help would be appreciated.

Two times in the past 2 days the database-end of the fourms has crapped-out. I'm sure you noticed the 6 hours of downtime this morning.

So, I've brought in some uber-geeks to fix this damned forum.

They've check-out everything and our current tech guys are working with them. We're going to move the forums to one high-powered server, change to OpenBSD for an operating system and do some customization of the PHP coding - specifically in the search script. It's going to cost $120/hour to get it done -- but hopefully once it's done, we'll not have to face these problems anymore!
