Can we take up a special collection to help DU with the "level 3" cutbacks

[karlrschneider]

Is it a matter of server limitations?...the connection? I'd be happy to kick in an extra donation if this is just a need for some new hardware...or whatever...

1. Thanks for the thought

and you're certainly welcome to donate, but unfortunately this isn't just something we can take in money for over the weekend and solve on Monday.

We've already got another server on order and we've been discussing various upgrades to our network and other bottlenecks with our web host for weeks.

All the things happening lately have slammed us with traffic, we haven't been this busy since the election.

2. Can we take up a collection for some coffee for you

since there is no doubt you are burning the midnight oil? :thumbsup:

3. Ok, sure I know there aren't any 'quick fixes'!!! Just thought a li'l

extra might help out for when these kinds of situations come along. I have a feeling they may get more frequent. Will kick in a bit more.
:D

4. Thanks for the thought

But it won't do us much good at the moment, and if you're considering giving money to anyone right now I'd give it to one of the orgainzations listed in this thread:

5. And you are doing the right thing. Most important that the DU gets

information out & highlights issues than anything else.

You guys are great!
