Thought I'd update this thread since we've made some changes. We recently purchased a dedicated server for RME! :freak:
We have been trying to avoid buying a dedicated server by using shared hosting in order to keep the costs down, but we have had so much growth and traffic that we kept exceeding our hosting limits, causing RME to go offline and loosing new posts. The expenses of a dedicated server are about 7x higher than a shared server, so our operating expenses have now gone thru the roof.
The largest item that takes up the most space on the server is the images that are uploaded to RME. I forget what that total was, but it's a massive number. I don't want our members to feel like you are being told not to upload photos, we love to see images on RME! Keep them coming!
All things being said, we could again use your help with supporting RME and by upgrading to a Premium Account. We try to make it worth your money and you get the satisfaction of financially supporting this great community!
