I don't bump this thread, but this month we will be paying twice for our access. Once for the server cage we have been living in for the last 8 years or so. Once for the new virtual server that will be our home by the end of the month.

The old method has been too expensive for us, and the tip mug has actually not filled several times this year. This new method of hosting will be much cheaper, about half the cost.

It's now possible because the amount of bandwidth used is way down in the last two years. IotD attracted many visitors, and took resources, but now that we are more of a simple forum, we can fit our transfer into 2TB per month.

But this month we'll be paying 1.5 times the freight during the transition.

So please touch the mug. It will be your last chance to do it, because I'm removing the mug entirely next month. I thank all the unnamed donors who have given over the years: you know who you are, and you made this happen.
