  • I've HAD it with the slow server

    To the Apolyton Community,

    The last month or so, the Poly server, both for chat and the site itself, has become quite slow, "too busy", or not accessible at all.

    I don't know the cause of this. Configuration problems? Software problems? A general internet traffic jam? Simply too many people trying to access it? I can only guess. I don't know much about servers, anyway.

    But let me say one thing: if it's for financial reasons - the Poly management not being able to afford a better server, or a better connection, or whatever, I'm more than willing to contribute something for this purpose.

    So, I'd like to hear from you people if, in the case of financial reasons, you would like to donate to Poly 15 dollars or 15 euros (or any other amount greater than this, and in any currency you like). We should be able to transfer this money to the right place.

    It would be for a better future of our favourite site!

    Who's in?

    Count me in.

    I bought a T-Shirt awhile back, perhaps I should buy a couple more...

      One addition: I know I could also buy a T-shirt. But I don't really need a T-shirt right now, and I think there's a lot of costs involved in the shipping process and such (I live in Europe).
      I really need a fast server, though.

        I agree.
        Why not pay markos for his time as well, since he seems to spend quite some time here on the site.

        It would be nice to give back a little of what we've received.

            Hmm...


            Why not creating a special pay-pal account, for those that really don't care for a T-shirt, or that don't want to spend the whole (how much is it? 25$?) on a shirt, but would rather give some 5 or 10 bucks.

              there can never be a situation where a guy wouldn't need another t-shirt...

              I know I can always do with new clothes.

              polywear's too pricy though

                  Give us an option besides Paypal and I'll toss a few bucks on the fire.

                    I'm against this idea. As soon as it is implemented, I'll be leaving Apolyton and I'll be going to... to... Civfanatics...

                    mmm... ok, how much I'll have to pay?

                        I want someone to clean my house once a week for free but let's face it, quality service requires some kind of reciprocal and love doesn't pay the bills.

                          Besides, the idea is for it to be completely voluntairy with no extra's attached.

                            This idea has been floated around many times. Mark has always seemed touched when it comes up, but his answer has always been that he didn't feel comfortable doing it, and suggested that people just buy more stuff.

                              My wife would kill me if I bought more "junk" and piled it in our apartment. Tell Mark to put something like World Peace or The Truth up for sale in the Apolyton Store so that way he could benefit from additional cash and we could benefit from decreased nagging.
