DB maintenance.

[Big Jeff]

Geeky tech stuff ahead: (turn back now if you are afraid or faint of heart :) )

I went in and repaired and optimized all the SR database. Needed to be done. Its been a a long time since it was done. I also freed up 5 gigs of space without having to remove any attachments on the board. All good. Gonna be doing some more stuff soon including a new version of VBulletin as well.. :D
Just figured I'd let everyone know. Carry on.

Yes I hope more people do step up. Every month I wonder if I am going to get enough donations to cover the hosting costs. Some months I do, but some months like this one I wonder how much money I am going to have to kick in to keep this place running. Frustrating sometimes. Luckily we have had some good donations from a few key peeps including our anonymous doner that allow me not to worry about it some months. Its always been a struggle..

Hey I am not entirely sure who maintains this site, but if you guys ever want help I will do what I can. I am an aspiring web developer and know a lot of stuff about it. if ya want an extra set of eyes to troubleshoot a problem hit me up

I think a chart with costs and whats been donated so far for the month or year would be help.

[Big Jeff]

Thats a fair idea.. I can tally that up.. Maybe I can get one of those Goal thermometer type things. Tally out the cost for a year and then have the thermometer go up until we meet our goal! I'll look into that...
