Desperate times, desperate measures, I need help people, please.

Again, thank you all. I would ask that the donations stop now - the final tally being at $2,500. As soon as is possible I will raise up this amount and use it to purchase a new server as the current machine is nearing the end of its useful life. Also with the way technology depreciates in value over time what $15,000 bought 5 years ago $2,500 is be able to buy today with considerable improvement.

I'm glad to hear that your financial situation has stabilized a bit, and I'm also quite proud to belong to a community that is willing and able to assist members in times of need.

But, Michael, I don't think you should feel obligated to raise money for a server upgrade in return for this support. At least not by yourself. I'd be quite happy to contribute something towards any needed upgrades, and I'm sure many others would too.
