Dissensus has grown a lot. As per this thread:

http://dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=6038

Its fees used to be contained with a deal I'd made with the site's host, but now they've started to spill over. I would appreciate people's patience as I deal with this issue. Applying for bolt-ons, getting them in time before we exceed bandwidth and not getting too much extra bandwidth (there is no roll-over) is a very tedious balancing act.

I'm starting a bandwidth fund for the site. I could shilly around and set up a separate Paypal account but the reality is whatever you send will go into my pocket. So simply direct your (gratefully received!) contributions to Paypal account:

alias@hollowearth.org

Donations should probably be in the region of $5-$10

I'll stick and lock this thread, which in future will contain a list of the people who contribute (though not the sum they contribute) and a total of the amount of money bequested.

J.E. EDIT- People should mention their dissensus user names if they are making a donation.

Now folks, don't be too generous! I did mean it when I said $5-$10!

This sum will probably, at the current rate, last us about two years. Yikes!

The following measures have been taken to cut down bandwidth:

a) No images are hosted at Dissensus now.
b) I've implemented a robots.txt file to attempt to ward off leaches.
