[Meta] Mr. Data, prepare to increase bandwidth!

[Piratecat]

The site will go down in a half hour or so, and then will go back up with double the amount of bandwidth that we currently have. Report any problems in this linked thread!

As far as I know, we have also doubled the amount of RAM in the last week. Any additional problems are probably software related.

Incidentally, if you've ever thought about becoming a community supporter, now is a great time.

Other things that you can do to help include using our advertisers, such as FRP Games and Traveller d20, and casually mentioning that you came to them because of their ads here. You know, all subtle-like. *grin*

community supporter

I would like to become a community supporter. Unfortunately I'm never going to use PayPal. (heard bad things 'bout them)

I would be willing to do Money Orders and would be willing to pay 30$ or so to help you guys cover the bit of extra hassle they entail.. any chances you may change your payment methods in the future?

thanks,

joe b.

An alternative is mailing a check to me; I'll deposit it and PayPal it to Morrus. I've done this for a few other people, and it's not a problem.

If you want to do so, drop me a line at kevin@kulp.org. And thanks!

I've been unemployed for just over 12 months now, but I start my new job in a week.

The pay is 25% less than I was getting (I was made redundant when the business I worked for was closed down), but it's pay - and I won't lose my house, which was going to happen in a few months if I didn't get a job.

So, once I pay a few bills off I will be able to finally become a community supporter - yay!

I started reading Eric Noah's site since before 3e was released. I come here almost every day. I might not have the highest post count, but I read a lot.

In fact, I was travelling for 3 months earlier this year, and when I stopped in at internet cafe's I always came to this site.

Morrus, Moderators, contributors - thanks for all the great work put in to this site. It is greatly appreciated.

And hopefully soon I can show that with my $$$.

Unfortunately it's not reasonable for me to purchase my RPG stuff through the store because of mail costs (I'm in Australia).

Thanks

Duncan

Y'know, since Piratecat got on the phone to Cyberstreet and used his 18 charisma to full effect, I'm really impressed with how fast things have been happening. A week ago, I was tearing my hair out at the roots, howling at the moon and considering mass homicide, but now there's finally a light at the end of the tunnel.

So, when this site is finally runnig smoothly again, please remember to thank Piratecat - he's gone far beyond the call of duty here, and it is immensely appreciated.

Yea, P-kitty!

 

[Maerdwyn]

Became a supporter this morning, and ordered from FRP tonight.

Hope everything goes smoothly for you, and the site, from here on in.

Thanks to all you guys for your efforts to keep the site running.

*Cleans out ears*

For a second there I thought you said "Call of booty." Which makes a lot of sense when consider his piratical nature.

Thanks PC and all the other moderators, administators, and everyone that keeps this site running. This is one of the best sites on the net IMO. I for one appreciate all your hard work to keep this place great!

I ordered from FRP Games today and will become a Community Supporter in January once I get my next Dividend Check. Well, really after I pay my next 3 car payments and car insurence that is, then it's EN World!
