Help Terra-Arcanum stay alive

For those of you who don't know, the hosting for Terra-Arcanum is provided by Taluntain of <a href="http://www.sorcerers.net">Sorcerers.net</a>. If you also didn't know, the ad banners pay sweet bugger all (or in fact, a little bit more than nothing) when it comes to actually keeping this place running. Well, the server we run on is in need of a RAM upgrade:
<br><blockquote>Sorcerer's Place and all our hosted sites have grown and expanded considerably, and the recent server CPU upgrade alone wasn't enough. We need more RAM, badly. I've done all I could in terms of optimization, but overall it doesn't mean much - we still get occasional blackouts, slowdowns, and even complete server shutdowns because the load is simply too high for the server to handle over a prolonged period of time.
<br>
<br>So, I'm putting out a call for donations. Money collected here will benefit everyone, as it will directly improve accessibility and performance of SP and our hosted sites. So, if you can, <a href="https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=donations@sorcerers.net&item_name=Donations+for+Terra+Arcanum&no_shipping=1">please donate</a> for the cause. The memory upgrade consists of a set-up fee ($75) and $30 every month after that. That makes it about $435 for the first year. I hope we can raise this amount in one go and then forget about it for a year (before we have to raise it again). This money will be used strictly for upgrading the server with another gigabyte of RAM.
<br>
<br>Thanks in advance to all who decide to help out!</blockquote>

Cool stuff. Thanks guys.

 

No, guys picking girls up off the street and banging them in the back of a van is a little too lower class for my tastes. I'm much more into Twistys.com

 

It wouldn't really, no. Keep in mind that $435 charge is for all the sites on the sorcerers network, of which TA is but one. All the sites have chipped in to help.
