I know the chat has been acting up and most the time has been inaccessible.

Apparently, the server has been hitting high loads which has rendered the chat useless.

For now, it's fixed, but if it happens again, I'm just going to dump it.

I would rather a high load on the server over the chat anyway.  With the Shout box I wouldn't worry about killing yourself to keep chat.

How much do we need to upgrade our servers?  I have 40-50 bucks i could throw at it if we could drastically improve it.

We need some adverts to generate money to generate server bandwidth.

I agree with Irish, how much money could advertisements generate, and if needed I would have no problem throwing in a couple bucks.

Speaking of which how about those T-shirts.

Advertising is moot. It won't bring in enough money to cover the toilet paper to wipe the servers ass.

Upgrading the server to a better more reliable one would cost about 30-40 bucks a month. It was something I planned on doing, but I have to come up with a year's worth in one go.

Anyways, I'm seriously thinking about dumping the chat because it's more of a hassle to keep the bitch running than its worth.
