We've seen that error a few more times now, Bob. We're still not sure what is going on.
Back on the topic of running a fundraiser, I see three options here:
Also I think it's a bit too early in the organization for merch
madness, but tell me if you feel differently. Especially about ATT
merch.
If we do well, we'll get upgrades on mw1 and mw2 - for faster/less buggy page rendering. After that an upgrade on cp1 and cp2 - faster performance when logged out and static assets because more RAM for caching. I think in the long term we'll want our own server in colocation, but uh -- our head tech isn't old enough to get into the data center. When he turns 16, then we'll be in business. I'd say his professionalism is almost on par with the sysadmins at my work, but age a common measure despite being only weakly correlated with maturity.
And the last thing, I'm fixing up the trope link highlighter. By completely rewriting it. Should be faster, and definitely less janky. It's still in testing, but it should be back soon -- perhaps next weekend.

Back on the topic of running a fundraiser, I see three options here:
- Run a fundraiser on a standard fundraising site (Kickstarter, Indiegogo). Fees: 5% site + (3% + $0.30) payment processor
- Run a fundraiser on Indiegogo's spinoff, Generosity.org. Fees: 0% site + (3% + $0.30) payment processor -- but the site tries to trick you into giving 15% more to the site. See http://www.generosity.com/fundraising/ ... -parenting and click Donate Now as an example. I wouldn't mind if you donate money to that too -- that's a friend of mine from college and they're trying to send her to jail for letting her kid play alone in a park literally on the same block as her apartment.
- Just beg for direct transfers on Paypal. Fees: 2-3%, or maybe 0% because it's not a purchase. This doesn't work if people don't have Paypal account, but do have some form of credit card.
