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.
