It hung up last night!

An upgrade to the server (VPS) is needed, although I’m not 100% confident that we can afford it in the long term, as I’ve only been in charge of the site’s finances for 6 months. I have been looking at our needs and trying to find the best server fit for the site recently. I also need to find out how different it will be for me to manage, because if it is significantly different there will be a bit for me to learn and no time to do it.

But, I think it has got to the stage where it is unbearable, and I’ll have to bite the bullet and upgrade with our current hosts and figure it out or go somewhere else after.

[just]

Afford it in monetary terms or other? If it is monetary what would be the initial and long term costs?

[AndyP]

$$$$

Our current server costs are $10 per month, but we are looking at about $40 per month with the upgrade. It’s fine for now, as there is money in the bank from the merchandise sales and donations. It just needs to keep coming in over the long term to pay for those running costs. There are other avenues I’ve investigated (the merchandise was one of those), as I would prefer to not completely rely on member donations, and I think we’ll cope, but it is a risk.

Can we pimp Henno out?

Invest in the Greek economy, I heard it was going well.

Come again?

[Yossarian]

Throw. Wow that was average.

[just]

To be fair, Silvio would also go through most of the party too.
