Yeah, I need to get with you on that. Amazon was a bad fucking idea. I'm sorry I even went there.
So a close friend of mine who is uber-nerd gave me a heads up about a place that rents edge vm's. http://www.edgevm.com
$15 a month gets me 1GB memory, *2* 3.2 GHz cores, 50GB drive space and 2TB of data transfer. At that rate, we should be able to live off of those donations for at least 2 years.
*TUNE OUT, TECH SPEAK AHEAD!*
Resources are guaranteed by a hypervisor ticketing system so we're not going to have to worry about another VM crowding us out.
I don't forsee needing an increase of resources for quite some time. Honestly, the system is STUPID cheap and super effective for our size forum.

Not ONLY did Amazon's resource availability SUCK ASS and lock up the entire system for over 15 minutes, but once I restarted the VM, the goddamn public IP address changed.
So for those folks that weren't able to connect AT ALL for an hour or so today, I'm really sorry. I'm pretty pissed off about it.

One last thing: If anyone wants to chit chat, I'm going to be in the chat tab for a bit. Now that it works.

I'm liking the new header and logo.

Is it fixed? Seems brighter, faster more awesomer....or is it some placedo effect?

Yeah, I get a few seconds of lag every few page loads. Dunno if that's the server or the hosting service. It's one of those things that's going to take time to troubleshoot.

Very nice so far;like the bold title font. It screams "we ARE CCGF!" Much faster now.
