Here is why I am not going to make it to TF:
On April 10th, my dedicated server, hosted with Servepath.com was compromised and began a 400% increase in bandwidth usage from normal. I was in the middle of educational studies for a test date of April 20th, so I was not aware of the intrusion and bandwidth increase. On April 17th, Servepath finally sent me an email warning that I had high utilization, at which time I immediately shut down the network connection to stop the bandwidth being stolen and to investigate. In the 7 days of the 400% increase, a total of 4,500+ GB of data transfer occurred, and is being billed at $5,700 from Servepath. There is a plan they have that allows 4,00GB per month that costs $1,199 per month, and they are totally unwilling to allow me to pay that amount and be done with the issue. At least that is a more manageable amount to suck up than $5,700. So I am trying to negotiate a feasible amount, but it looks like I am still going to be locked into a LARGE server for 12 more months.

Cause their 'Terms of Service' state they basically dont care. They only care about getting paid.

donated.
Everyone reading this forum needs to click that link and send at least $20 once for the year. There's no rules, it's totally jumper based and we don't really have much advertising. Mick puts in tons of time, and a few other of us put in some work as well. None are looking to make money but we can't ask Mick to float a $5700 bill! What's $20? The wiki app will be organized soon and wiki-style editable. This site is a great resource that ours to lose. -

I feel special. I got thanked twice though I only donated once.
Now Abbie can come down to "Shari's" and buy me breakfast.

I totally appreciate it everyone. A few have even talked about how you donated to Shane and Scott.
I tell you what. I would RATHER you donate your money to those 2 families that truly need it. Trust me, this expense totally kicks my ass and hurts pretty bad, but it is nothing compared to what those other 2 families are dealing with. If you want to actually know what is on my WISH LIST of things I want donated:
