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

  There's constant outages all the time. Just a few days ago the site was down for like four hours in the middle of the day.

    Okay, but how is that "constant?" I'm on and off almost all day and the site almost always loads for me in the day.

      "Constant" as in, it happens very, very often. I use the site several times a day, every day of the week. And the site loads nothing but a white screen very frequently.
      
      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.

        I'm not, I'm just surprised since the site has been down in the day maybe once for me in the last two weeks. Huh. Well, I hope the server sale fixes things for you, at least.

      It was just an example. I'm on a lot too, and it seems to go down really frequently for me. A lot of other people have reported seeing the same problem, not sure why you're not having them but you should consider yourself lucky.

        Weird! Well, I hope the new servers fix the issues some people have been having.
