I think it's because of the meatballs.
Anyone got a better explanation?

I thought it was because its getting closer to the HSC and the site is getting more hits than a $2 whore?

1) The server is not Australian

2) There have been problems since the last upgrade.

there have been probs forever, not just since the last upgrade, it's better now because the whole thing doesn't crash as often, it's just slower and comes back quickly

There should be a "donate" feature on BOS - Like i mean, its not cheap nor easy to run a server, host so many files, and maintain forums. :eek:

What paypal icon? If you make it bigger or point it out, I think people would donate.

I've visited the front page countless times and have never noticed it. It must be in the periphery, only registered subocniously.

penrith was ages ago.

We may be moving again soon. Hopefully if we can find som do$h we'll be upping the server specs a lot.

I am hoping for a bit of load balancing. that would be nice :D
