Is this the proper place to ask if DU needs an infusion
of donations to pay for a hardware upgrade?

1. I'm there
if that's what they need to buy a new server. Anyone else?

2. You might want to do it in "Ask the Administrators"
But they will probably see it here anyway.

4. You can certainly suggest donations here
Several months ago I posted that I'd donate x if 3 others did so as well and the total ended up over $100 in one shot from 5 members!

The admins are exhausting ALL software fixes, but it seems like a new server will be in order shortly...

7. That sounds like a plan
Any "rich" people here that could put up matching funds? :evilgrin:

9. Is it too delicate a question to ask if they can afford it
or if they need a cash infusion, and how much do they need?

8. Get new "hardware" and go back to DU-1 is what I say......but I'm computer
clueless.........so what do I know.......but there have been more "bugs, downtimes, and weird stuff" since the "Change Over" so I'm kind of biased..........but, I also know that Admin's have tried to do their best to keep us "online" so I can go both ways on this. But.........take DU-1 Format and get a better way of distributing it......or Refine DU-2 and make sure that you have enough power to disseminate it..........

But, they are working on it...........just putting in MY VOTE for DU-1 FORMAT........which we all loved.
