    Is it just me, or was the site unavailable from about 6 to at least midnight EST last night?

    If I remember correctly, this was the case two Sunday's ago, too.

    Forgive me if this is common knowledge, or covered already; but I get pretty upset when my 3Reef isn't just a click away!;D

    The server had a another meltdown.
    A new server is in the works and we should start moving over to it starting this week.

    This new server is expensive,
    please consider helping 3reef stay afloat by supporting our donation drive.

    Although it is more expensive, it is 4 times as powerful and it won't take me 8 ours to do a server reboot. ::) Current server 'management' is killing us.

    Great holiday I had yesterday. :p

    Anyway, please support 3reef's efforts to get the infrastructure it needs so we can all enjoy 3reef!

    You shouldn't notice anything if I do it right. ;)
    EDIT - Although there will probably be a day of weirdness when the DNS is transferring as I recall from last time.

    FYI - I put some money down on it today. I should be knee-deep in this next week. Thanks to you bm and all that have supporting the 3reef store during this time.

    Hey Matt, does it have to be a t-shirt or can you just donate it? Is there a difference. Luna
