PSU Crossroads


In our short time in this community, PlanetSide Universe has completely blown away all our expectations. We recently hit 2,000 members on the forums, and 1 million hits on the site! With our site growing daily in popularity, as well as our IRC. The time has come for a decision.

Our server has been taxed recently, causing disconnect problems on IRC and some site downtime. After considering this for a week or so and having a conversation with my ISP, and staff, I have decided that we must invest in more servers for PSU to stay as it is today. The website is not in jeopardy however, IRC and AGN could be. I feel that the IRC server is one of our HUGE strong points here at PSU, I would hate to lose it as I believe it is one of the things that gives this community a home for their outfits and various chats. Also, imo AGN is going to be just as big as the website and IRC. Rather than wait till PS release and have a HUGE influx of users crashing our servers. We must bite the bullet now.

More servers mean more $$, I cannot afford to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars monthly, If I could I would not be making this post. So I am going to you, the community for donations to keep PSU IRC alive. I do not have a total goal in terms of donations, however I would like to get near 1000$ to start off. This would pay for some new servers for a few months, then we would do this all over again.

So, the survival of various things here on PSU depends on you, the users. Just as your visits and forum posting keeps this site alive your money will also. If I cannot raise enough to justify some new servers I will have to look into some possible advertising, resulting in banners and slower load times.

Below is a link to PayPal, and also a PO Box where you can donate funds.
