TJ, what can we do to speed things up?

I think we need to make this a pay site ... $25 a year, maybe $50. Dom?

Are we still at 1MB bandwidth? Back to 512?

How much do we need to raise in the OM Labor Day Net-athon to get a dedicated server?

The Mane has always been a "labor of love" for the team TJ's devoted to...and for the Broncos fan community that has been built here. The personal (out-of-pocket) costs he's absorbed to provide our little corner of "Broncos heaven" here in cyberspace have been substantial. It would be nice if the sum of the contributions covered his operating costs...and if there was a little "extra".... well, with the hours he puts into maintaining the site, I'd think that was marvelous.

2000 X $25 = $50,000

You made my list when you said Jennifer Connelly's Career Opportunity boobs were fake. People have been burned at the stake for less than that!

I understand that this is frustrating to folks, and I apologize. There is certainly much that I can be criticized for these days, and I don't blame anyone for engaging in it.

Please understand that this is a "homegrown" site, and as such, we go through growing pains that the corporate sites wont experience. That includes growing out of servers and into new ones like a child might grow out of a pair of shoes. I apologize for the frustrations, and promise that I'm doing everything in my power to keep things on the straight and narrow.

personally I dont think we are critizing the site. In my defense I am / was only commenting. My biggest problem tonight is Window IE.

So what if we did something similar. Say, for a $50 donation, you get an OrangeMane t-shirt (you could have them made for a pittance - probably $5, or less). For $100, you get a matching baseball hat. Go $250, and Mock will take you and your matching shirt and hat out for a night of the proverbial "getting your goose on." I guarantee something like that would bring in some decent money, and volunteers here (myself included) could help organize and run it, so that it wouldn't take time away from TJ's upcoming run-in with fatherhood.

I've always thought The Mane should do this.

Yea, mine is up and down. When it gets really busy it lags a lot and kind of sucks when your trying to discuss the games and whatnot. Not sure what the answer is but it does lag at times.
