So, great minds think alike. I don't come to this board often, because I have enough boards on which to bore people.

But, I've been thinking if we all kicked in a little extra, we could achieve a new server faster. But, Fencer needs to put up some number for us to shoot for. I thought maybe if we all just kicked in another $5 for an infrastructure development fund it would kick it up a little. Whaddya say, Fencer? What does it take? I'm in. Like eddie, you'll have to ban me to keep me from playing here, and I DO pay my dues.

Gold stars are good, and could be permanent additions to those who pay a little extra. Those who don't aren't to be ostricised, I think we all understand limited budget. But those of us who can (I am grateful to be in that group - Lord knows I've been on the other side) should put our money where our mouths are.

If we didn't add any levels, just made contributions, no changes would come to the structure as it stands. And, we wouldn't have to pay more forever, because a better, faster server would mean more people would join. I know pawns who aren't joining because of the connectivity problems. As the site grows, economies of scale take place, and we level out.

I am grateful to you, Fencer, for all you have done for us. This is a great site, with LOTS of great people, and I want to hang out here for a long, long time. My laptop will be in network with eddie's from the grave.
