Questions for Morrus!

[Asmo]

Hello Morrus, Asmo here.
I was a part of the Great Donation Drive late last year. If I´m not misstaken we donated nearly $ 20.000 wich is incredible, I´m very proud of what we have achived.
I´m very interested to hear from you, Morrus, what happened to all that money? How much is left? How has it been spent? Will there be a server upgrade?
I would be very glad if I you could answer my questions.
I asked this in another thread, and I´ll try here once again:
if I decide to renew my En World account, will I be able to use my Visa card?
RPG Now seems to have the same problems as before with foreign costumers Visa card. I really don´t want to use Paypal.

Wow, lots of questions! It would require an essay to answer them all, so I'll be brief; besides, it's largely repetition.

1) So far, a year's hosting, last year's ENnies debts, last year's hosting debts, this year's ENnies costs, some other miscellaneous debts that the site managed to incur, a bunch of tax. Your estimated 20K is a little on the high side, by the way!

2) Well, other than RPGNow and the recently added PayPal option, I don't have anything else in place. If you can think of another way to do it, let me know.

Thanks for the answers Morrus!
As you pointed out, it´s "largley repetition". Numbers have been mentioned and some information has been given about how the money have been spent.
The problem is that I don´t know how much these things costs - to run EnWorld for a year including hosting debts, ENnies costs etc, etc.
So perhaps my most urgent question is: how much money is left?
Are we facing a new Donate Drive later this year, or is "our" economical situation under control? I´m just curious and I understand if you don´t want to give me any numbers.
And of course: will there be a server upgrade?
I hope it´s just me, but this summer has been hard on my nerves, I can´t remember that the boards has been this slow before.
I would gladly donate more money if I just could surf happily without waiting several minutes before a page loads, etc.
More questions, and as always: I would be glad if you could answer them!

Well, I don't plan on doing donation drives in future; certainly one isn't needed at present. And yes, the server upgrade is planned.
