Note: that is more of a general question, not just to Kristen.
Also, I can kill you with my brain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I can see where the diminishing returns would get tiresome. I'm surprised that the help we need to sort this out is considered too much work, and surprised that they don't see how helping us solve the problem means less problems from us in the future, but I only see the what gets posted here, so I know I don't have a comlete view of the problem.
Surely there must be someplace that would not charge us stupid amounts of money to host us, and who would also help us to get our site running smoothly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Frankly, that kind of speculation is way premature. Right now, it looks like there's a problem with one of Fangeek's servers. ita's test this evening will help verify that.
If it's a problem with one of their servers, then we get them to fix it, because they're not providing us with the level of service we're paying for. If they refuse to fix it, then we talk about leaving.
If it isn't a problem with their servers, then it's a problem with our code. We'll have to fix our code, regardless of whether or not they give us any assistance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
First off I want to shut the board down, and test connections on the command line, so our code isn't part of the issue.
Secondly, we start hunting for a host with higher limits.
Thirdly, which can be concurrent with secondly, the code gets reviewed again.

Tom, you do understand that Fangeek, meaning me, doesn't actually have access to the server?

Whoops, sorry. I meant our ISP when I said Fangeek.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Have I mentioned recently that you guys are all awfully cool? I'm still stuck in the mindset of over a year ago, which is "Holy crap, we have our own board. These people started with nothing and they made an entire board." I live in awe.

Whoops, sorry.
No problemo. I just wanted to make sure everyone realized that I don't actually have access to the server itself. It would be much easier if I did.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
In this as in so many other things...
Begins plotting takeover of the universe by a brilliant, foamy snark of Buffistae.

Our wings are not tired
So who wants to give the Buffistas a nice new Xserve and the a place to hook it up to some bandwidth?
Someone?
Anyone?
Pretty Please?
