Hey folks, I know Giving Tuesday was yesterday and I purposefully avoided it because there's many causes that deserve your dollars more than us. If you have something left, I'm contributing more to keep our community alive than what we're getting in, and I know that we can fix that. If everyone who read this contributed $5, we'd be in a much better position, paying off backed-up invoices. If everyone who read this committed $10 monthly, it'd pay off our hardware deficit. The hardware I bought to get us off the cloud, I bore the entire $25,000 cost. I'm fine with this as long as we can chip away at it... But as it is, we're not. Right now we're $453 behind on monthly costs. The physical servers are fine at being chipped down, knowing we're solidified for years to come. To donate via PayPal:
