Since I made the last update, the process the moves images older then 3 days to backup storage is broken.
Will try to fix this weekend.

Hello Scott! Received this warning and these details just now. From my iPhone.

A minor site update is in process that will hopefully stop people (mostly on Apple Safari) from getting logged out frequently.

Downtime should be limited to a few seconds here and there, but you never know...

Note: Paypal amounts are after they take their cut of a few percent.
Currently the average monthly cost for the site is around $13.71:
10.31 Site Hosting
2.00 Domain Name Registration
1.50 Backup storage
With the recent changes I made, the site is much easier to move between hosting providers.
I am thinking of moving back to cheaper hosting provider, since if it starts crapping out on us like the last one, it will be pretty trivial to dump them for another.
I will also probably be changing the site code at some point this year to load older and/or full size images off of the backup storage, deleting them off the server.
With almost 10 years of posts, the disk requirements of the site keep growing, which limits the lower cost hosting plans we can use.
The storage for the old posts themselves are minimal compared to the images.
For those who care, here is the relative size of the site storage:
0.005 GB : Site code and static files
0.9 GB : Database (includes all post/comment text)
56 GB : Uploaded images
As always, financial assistance for the site is appreciated, but not required.
