Website Downtime >:-(

Alright guys, I'm begging now. The site can't survive with the current setup we have. We need a dedicated server just like all the other sites have. We can't afford it right now, and I as one of the site creators literally cannot afford to put any money into it because of my financial situation.

There's nothing more I can do. The problem isn't because of my code but because of our lack of financial support. We get about 30 cents a day, which is roughly $10 a month. We need $65 a month minimum (we actually need more than that, but that's a start).

To explain, for $10 a month, all we can afford is what's called "shared hosting". This means that we share webspace with thousands of other sites. What's happening right now (and every other time we have technical problems), is that one of those sites is messing up, which in turn messes us up. Once we get the $65 a month, we can move to our own server, where that won't be a problem anymore. It will also mean we can do some much cooler stuff, and the website should run a little faster.

We're all volunteers. We've worked so hard to get the site to where it is today... and we need your help guys! Please!

You can donate using the donate button on the website, and literally any amount helps. We have about 750 visitors that come back to the site daily. If we had even fifty cents a month from you guys, we could do some AMAZING things. So please... consider anything! Buy a medium drink instead of a large, get the free refills, and give us the change! Anything... if there was ever a site that needed it, we do.

Click here to go back to the site, and look for the donation button on the right hand side. I'll keep everyone updated about how much money we have, and when we move to the private server.
