Site Outage
Cookie Monster:
A quick heads-up on the recent outage:
GoDaddy shut us down when our database surpassed 1GB, and it took several calls to support to get it restored. For the meantime, I've disabled the built-in full-text engine (which is used to make searches run more quickly), since it used nearly 600MB worth of DB space. Removing that got us back under the magical 1GB threshold. Because of this, searches will run a little more slowly than usual, and we encourage you to use the google search over the forum search.
Moving forward, we will need to eventually upgrade our hosting plan to a VPS (virtual private server), which is more expensive. But disabling the search indexing buys us time.

Whatever the cost may be, im pretty sure most of us will contribute.
bsbullie:
Thanks, Jeff.
How about hosting a "plant and plant material sale" like the rare fruit councils do at meetings with all sale proceeds going towards the increased cost for the virtual server upgrade? Yes, this will mean people would be "donating" their material but I think many would be up for it.

Thanks for the update Jeff. Rob, that’s a great idea. Count me in on donating something for fundraising.

Cookie Monster:
Thanks for the support, guys. Yah, we'll see what Patrick and Sheehan want to do, but that could work. The cost was going to be around $250 for the first year, which isn't horrible. But they also wanted $99 for the migration :-(.
