Upgrade & Donation Thanks

Upgrade & Donation Thanks
Ok, two things to update everyone one on. Firstly, the forum was upgraded this morning and everything went well. It was a general security update, but as always, please report any errors to me.

Secondly, it took just just over a month (and 14 separate donations) to reach our donation target of $327 for server costs! Many thanks to everyone who contributed:
  • Darwinian
  • leo-rcc
  • Eilonnwy
  • Rhizomorph13
  • AtheistPhil
  • Arcanus
  • Meatball
  • tavarish
  • The_Flying_Skeptic
  • pack3tg0st
  • darkwolf176
  • 3 anonymous

Of course, this isn't any reason not to donate if you have some spare cash. We can get a good server now, but the more we collect, the more we can afford. We'll be migrating to the new server sometime within the next month, hopefully in April before my exams start.

Oh, and for those wanting to know more about our admin Darwinian, remember to send him a PM before this Friday with a question for him to answer!

Don't think the "Your Kudos" page should look like this.

I was rewriting the whole bloody thing. I used too many complex queries in the last one, and if there is anything I've learned about SQL in the last few months, it's that lots of simple queries are far more efficient that one big one. It's now running at 5 times the speed.

Ok, now to implement the suggestions that Saerules and fr0d0 gave me.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
