Geo... would it be possible to have a sort of a backup server somewhere else. Perhaps someone here has the means to do this. He/she or their company or whatever could act as the game server in case such an emergency as this one arises... so the game doesn´t shut down entirely.

if its even possible... you´re the programmer you should know

Anything is possible. The limitation being fundage, and compatibility. The first isn't so bad if it's volunteer. The second is a little more complicated. I am not a programmer. I maintain the server, but my knowledge of how to make changes to the stuff is limited. About the only thing I would know how to do myself would be stick the server in a box and mail it to someone that had a static IP to plug it into. That's sort of a drastic solution for a temporary problem.

As far as a mirror site, I am sure it could be done, I just don't know all the ins and outs of setting it up.

Say geoschmo, I just read the Last message not this threat from the start but how is the financial situation ? Shall we start to transfer money ?

Donations are always welcome. We currently have enough to cover the month to month expenses for a few monts time, which is good. The remainder stays in an account for unexpected expenses such as hardware failures and whatnot.
