Hey guys, just to let you know I'm upgrading the server tonight to a dedicated server which should improve the speed of the site significantly. It shouldn't take too long and might resolve some issues we were having on the instance.

At the moment, the server has been running on shared hosting which is cheap hosting where the server that runs the website is shared among many users. I upgraded it this morning but it didn't seem to help at all so I'm opting for a dedicated instance.

Over the last few days we've seen a good number of users join the instance and I've had a good number of donations from some great people!

My intentions are to run this server for as long as I can even if I'm putting some of my own money into it. I know some people may be worried about an instance like this being hosted by one person but I promise I'll keep it up and keep regular backups just in case I can't host it anymore or something happens to the server!

Awesome stuff. Was hoping I'd find a more modest instance like this, cheers!
