Nothing goes as planned, but a dedicated group of PN volunteer team members are setting it straight. As some of you may have noticed since the launch of the new postnuke.com structure, a number of performance issues have popped up. This is not always a bad thing because it gives us an opportunity to learn and share the knowledge with you.
The good news is we're getting a new server because the project is growing and as some know an upgrade has been needed for sometime. The current issues just confirmed what we already knew and had been avoiding.
So here are the details, Drak has kindly purchased and donated a shiny, brand new server to the project in addition to all the hosting services HostNuke currently provides. The server is an Opteron SCSI RAID with potential to upgrade in the future if needed, and vastly outclasses our current hardware. The server should be installed and configured in HostNuke's Colocation facility within the next 48 hours.
The PostNuke Software Foundation would like to provide a contribution towards the cost of this server, however its not a trivial amount, at more than $2,500 USD. So with this in mind we'd like to give the community an opportunity to give back to the project and are asking you to show your support by donating any amount to our server fund.
Thanks in advance.

$10 down, 249 users to go! (Heck, there's probably that many online right now)A sincere thank-you to all the dedicated PN volunteers! Your generousity takes many forms; be it time, talent, or treasure, but all are most appreciated.
You're what the web is (or should be) all about.
Cheers!

$15 down...please add the PN Server Fund icon to other pages. I have www.postnuke.com at favorites and there is no information about the Fund. I guess many more have that at favorites instead of community.postnuke.com...
I suggest to add the Fund icon to major pages likes modules, news.
Thanks for all the effort!
IT IS TIME TO PAYBACK! SOMETHING TO PostNuke! OPEN YOUR WALLETS!

To be honest, there should be a general domation link on every page. Adding it to the bottom of the left menu might be a good idea or in the footer.

oh, and I donated $25. I really dont like the idea of listing amount people donate, but at the same time, I have voiced my negative views on a few things lately and want everyone know that I do care a lot about the project.

I've whined a couple times about lack of updates about the site changes and glitches. Well, I'm in the habit of linking straight to the forum and have been bypassing the opportunity to see some of the other changes, including the news here and the opportunity to put my wallet where my keyboard is.
My bad.
So, thanks for the good work.

Well I put $100 bucks into the pixels thingy so maybe some of this will go towards the server - I am a bit strapped for cash at the moment so you will have to stick with this... actually where are the pixels???
