tdc needs almost 900$ just to get to next month (july). I really hope these donations cover that. How else will you pay for it? out of your own pockets?

It might be cheaper to just get a good cable line and build your own dedicated server.

You really don't want to know what it costs to keep the site going... but here's a clue... a hell of a lot. And yes it's out of our own pockets.. well.. one admin in particular pays dearly for this.

I'm actually going through an apprenticeship of sorts where I'm learning how to build dedicated servers, so if that's what will make TDC cheaper to maintain, then hopefully I can learn enough about it in the future to contribute something - even if it's just advice.

That's insane. This site isn't worth $900 for 1 month. That's like $50 per active member. Why does it cost so much, and how do more popular sites (TIGS) survive?

I dont know if the donation page takes the google ads into account. However the last donation we received was from December 2009, almost 6 months ago, so maybe thats why it is so high. Oh and Omc, contact club to make sure the donation came in.

i think that ur going the rong way about this website. from what i see youre bloating it bigger and bigger insted of streemlining it and making it more agile. look at the ati series vs nvidia! how much space does this site take up? i know you can have unlimited bandwidth for about £3 a month if you can fit in a 5 gb infomaton limit which you can do if you host games videos and pictures on other sites like most people do. i dont no why you have such high bandwidth requirements why is it are there 100000000s of visiters a month?????

I find it mildly amusing how much this news post screams "DONATE PLZ!!!!"

But it's awesome that the members around here are so generous and willing to pitch in.

Thanks guys, for adding more fuel to TDC's oxygen tank!

Sorry James, but things get complicated once your website takes up certain resources and has a certain amound of visitors. Hence we all found out the hard way when the site would be down every other day years ago. There is no such things as unlimited bandwidth. Tdc runs from a dedicated server, and while we are in the process of moving over to php to lessen the demand on the server, to keep the site running smootly without any timeout errors we need to stay on this dedicated server, thats just something we need to deal with.

"smootly"
My new favourite mis-spelling.

Thanks to the other people that donated!

Have you guys ever looked at 1 on 1 for web hosting? That's what my dad uses.
