Donations for the Forum
Forum needs your help!
Click the title to help us. We need donations to make it fast, please help. Thanks a lot in advance!
You were rerouted to this page, because the SR team decided to take the advice of some of its forum users and try a new tactic to speed things up
People suggested (waves to evil angel and a few others) that we shutdown the forum and ask for what we need in donation, and put it back up when we got that.
This is what's happening now.
The forum will be down, until the full amount we need for a faster server has been donated!
We need currently 8'000 USD to make the forum faster. This money goes into one big server and upgrades for smaller servers around the huge one, that are already used, but not strong enough to carry the whole load.
Once the donations are in, the forum will be back online and within 30 days the new hardware will be put in place.
Please note, we do not plan to repeat this on a regular basis. This solution should be adequate for nearly 2 times the users we have now. But it's only being used as a last resort.
If 10% of all visitors would EACH donate only 1$ we would have no problems for the next 5 years. So if you only donate one dollar, you can already help here.
I have been asked to specify why we need that much money and for what. Well, SR has about 20 times the users of most other boards in this area. They are, mostly, on dedicated hosts that dont cost too much. That didnt work for SR for over a year now. We rely on a park of servers and even pushing them and lots of solutions no longer is enough. We need raw power, in other words, a dual opteron system. These systems cost quite a lot, but you get the best power for your money and so the best power for the forum and you, the end user. Also, the other servers that already balance the load, will get some small updates (we can't do much more to imporve them though) so they also do their job faster. The donations will go DIRECTLY into this hardware, nothing more, nothing less.
These stats update automatically as soon as donations come in. You can see pretty much instantly (+/- 5 minutes) what your donation changed.
Finally, we would like to thank all the users who have donated so far and all the users who donate after the time of this update. We really appreciate it, and no doubt the users will appreciate it even more. Thanks a lot!

Contrairement à soul, ils ont pris des mesures drastiques !
Fermeture du forum jusqu'a obtention de l'argent 
Ils font pas dans la dentelle les ricains !
Remarque, ils en sont déjà à 68%.
S'ils ont besoins de conseils pour leur matos, ils peuvent toujours demander à Soul des conseils
