just thinking out loud here... we haven't been given any figures, so i don't really know how much money we're talking about, but: if a server upgrade is the answer, then what if Steve set up a donation pool (via Paypal or similar), and those of us in the users' community who are willing and able - nothing compulsory - could each contribute a few £/€/$/whatever to help pay for the upgrade? a hunded-dollar price hike (for example) might be a serious obstacle for one guy, but 20 of us chipping in a fiver each would be a lot less painful. since the forums are here for the community's benefit, it would be a nice gesture if the community could help steve with the practical necessities to keep it working smoothly :)

This idea is made out of pure awesome. If it'd help, I'd be in it.

I'd donate to that :D
(specially since I can barely makes post as is without getting stupid connection errors)

Where's the "like" button? :-)
Also there is a data center behind me. I can hook you up with a dedicated server. Let me know what you want and I'll run it by sales

Just like to say.. I've had no problems connecting for last couple of weeks.
Thanks to Steve if you had something to do with that.
