So. I've mentioned in very slight passing that we've been having bandwidth problems.

Today I just implemented a cache system which should help for the time being, at the cost of making the site a bit slower. I've run all the images through an alternate host...

Yadda. Anyway. You'll probably already notice some problems on the site, and I'll try to fix them as soon as I can.

Ah, I was wondering what was going on. Too bad about your bandwith problems :( I wish I could help.

Donating helps.

Then I'll ask my dad if I could donate some money :)

You know you can count on me Oh-Creator..

Ok. I changed the cache thing a little. It should be a lot faster now (maybe as fast as before??).

Tell me how it runs for you guys.

its true marcello is faster, but i can´t see any images and it´s not the browser any other site show me the pics in it :(...starting to cry....i´m running a mac g4, panther system (osx 10.3...)over safari browser with java 1.4.2 for mac (if it helps)...help!! please

It's much faster now :) Hooray

Yea. I'm screwing with things off and on... It's possible the DNS is slow for you, zep?

everything just got fixed for me.

Seems to be just a bit slower than before for me.

sorry my ignorance marcello, what is DNS? ...i can see now the user icons, well some of them...and NO big pics

try going to http://cache.zoraw.com/ and telling me what it says

Er.. I haven't noticed any changes at all. If I notice anything, I will say something. Thanks for making me aware though.

ok...it says FORBIDDEN

edit: still says forbidden, but i can see everything again, uff...thanks marcello for fix it...

Yep. I've made a 3rd revision which should make it even faster! *gasp*
If anyone has problems now, let me know. Otherwise I'm not gonna touch it anymore.

It's all hunky dorey on my end. :-D

About the donating. I have read the things and such. What is a general amount that is donated? I don't want to go overboard on it, or not enough at all. Just wanting a basic awknowledgment of how much is all. ^^

Yea I was wondering the same thing but never asked.

People have donated from $5 to $100. I think my general feeling is to donate as much as you personally consider fair and can afford. It will all go to keeping the site up, whether right now or in the future, I don't waste any of the money. (But hey, even booze could mean benefits for 2draw. I have yet to figure out how, but... ;-) )

And with enough support it also means further improvements to the system simply because I don't have to work as much and have more free time. But that's just in theory.

Hm, I have like $55....I need some of it, but I'll try to donate as much as I could ;)

Marcello can also use socks. If you have any socks you can send those too.

I founf some cool looking socks, they have 5 toes in each, lol, they make your feet look like hands :)

Soon, I promise. You know first it was the holidays , then my little " incident" I was going to this month but.....Sowwy mon. Everything seems to be running fine on my end. :}>

I will donate as soon as i can, how do we pay?

Check out the Donating Page for more information.

I will see what I can do. Thanks for the general idea Cello!

Um..... Ina- what ever your name is, I think you need a credit card to donate. By the looks of your profile you are only 15 and to my prior knowlege you shouldn't have one just yet.

rikku_raiper210: You do not need a credit card to donate. If you read the donation page, you'd have seen that it says checks or money orders are acceptable as well. You just need to email/memo Cello for more info.

Well I looked on the site and it said that checks were only accepted. Oh well. Sorry for questioning you Ina lady.

Well Just to clarify, I am 15, and actually at my age I can legally have a credit card, believe it or not. I think it would have to be joint with my parents though. Also, You can call Me brytani, that's inatyrb backwards. That's my real name. But no problem about asking/wondering. ^^

Dude, you could have a credit card when you're 15?
