Allspark.com Server Upgrade Fund 20th Anniversary
Donation protected
Well folks, it's that time again! Almost 5 years ago we did a fundraiser for a brand new server to get back up and running after a catastrophic failure of hardware.
In that time we've had an outstanding uptime record and because of your contributions our community has continued to thrive.
But alas, times change, and with it must come updates and upgrades to stay current with modern technology. As some of you are aware there are several key features once present on the forums (and some on the front page itself) that have become outdated and broken.
As we approach the 20 year anniversary of The Allspark community, I thought now would be a good time to initiate some long overdue changes - and to do that, we need to call upon you once again to support us in this endeavor.
After appraising costs and estimates I've determined that $750 should be more than enough to cover our immediate upgrades costs. This is actually great because it's $200 cheaper than our last server goal.
Of course, more money means more features and more money to go to our ever increasing server hosting costs, which have come out of my own pocket since nearly the start.
I'm excited and terrified that we've been doing this for 2 decades. But with your help, all good things do NOT have to come to an end.
And when you think about it, it's about the same cost as Unicron but you'll get a heck of a lot more out of it :D
