The IJ upgrade sale is on
We have determined that we need an additional 2 web servers. This is going to need an upfront cost and some additional cash for boosting the reserves.
What we are going to do is start a sale on both regular accounts and we are going to be selling Permanently Insane accounts immediately. We will stop the sale once we have raised the needed funds. I will give 48 hours notice before stopping the sale.
The sale prices are going to be 20% off our regular low prices.
Permanently Insane - $40
Permanent Extra Userpics - $20
12 month Self-Committed - $20
6 month Self-Committed - $12
1 month Self-Committed - $4
12 month Extra Userpics - $16
6 month Extra Userpics - $8
Rename Token - $4

I would like to ask what the status of being able to receive email on hotmail accounts; I have not been able to receive tracking notifications or reply notifications an any of my IJ accounts (including my paid one) since December.
With the frequent outages and the abovementioned issue with notifs, it's very difficult for me to justify buying a paid or permanent account at this time.
Also, I really want to know what these 'frequent outages' are. There's scheduled downtime in the wee hours of the morning - what else are you referring to? I haven't seen the site down for any length of time at other times in the day.
This announcement talks about gaining two new servers. I hope that will ease, if not stop, the instances when the site does not load.
As for the notifications, the last mention of it I saw was back in March, and the entry simply said they knew there was an issue. No mention of a resolution or a suggestion was given. Since December, I have been using gmail to receive my notifications, but the way gmail works makes it difficult to follow many comments at once. I will use your suggestion of forwarding emails to hotmail from gmail.
It seems you were frustrated with my comments, and I would ask if you are an admin on the site; if you are, I'm sorry you're frustrated, but as a customer, my concerns are valid.
