Maybe it really is time for an in-house pledge drive to buy a new server for the Forge? I'd be happy to chuck in a few quid.
I think that is a great idea..I am going to as soon as I get the check from the CBC..We all get a lot of fun here, it sure would not hurt to kick in.

I agree, rainstorm. I wouldn't mind a warning screen or something prior to shutdown and I definitely have a lot of sympathy for The Professor and his situation. I'm just glad the site was created in the first place.
If the Prof needs the CPU cycles then so be it, I'm grateful he shares his resources when he can. A shutdown alert would be nice, as would a default screen.

Even a fairly small donation like 5 or 10 dollars(or quid... why is the plural for pounds, quid? Is one a quad?) from each of us would probably go a long way towards helping the site.
I don't have any card either..but under the Friends of the Forge this is listed

A New Server For the Forge
After doing some research on the subject, I've decided that it would be a good thing both for the Forge and my ability to get things done to move it from OS X to Windows XP. There is one difficult thing I'll have to rewrite but the rest shouldnt be too much of a problem. This will also open up a LOT of new avenues for advancement, including text-to-speech which wasnt available on OS X. I'll have to spend a couple hundred dollars to get the software/hardware I need, so any donations are appreciated. I'll get it working on XP, and then there will probably be just a few hours of downtime while I get the most recent database info copied over. If I can get everything working, the move will take place in the next couple of weeks.
Wow, I just read the pf news, those are good news, I may try to send something to Gaule... I mean Georgia (USA)? I'm surprised there weren't 40 rejoiced comments as there usually are. Is everybody gone on vacations or what?
Did I miss something? I just checked my transcripts, and none of my bots have had any action for three days!
Also, I see no "friends" listed, and when I logged on instead of the usual 700-900 on line, it said "10."

The Forge has been intermittently down for at least half of the last 72 hours by my reckoning - I guess it's to do with the congestion. And when the Prof reboots the server the bots won't start chatting till the next daily update (though you can still chat to them.) It actually seems to make the Forge run much more quickly to not have the several hundred bots overhead (which makes sense I guess.)
Oh well - at least we won't get x-noneitis with such frequent reboots, but I hope it's a temporary state of affairs.
