Hooray for Buttercup and Bubbles! (and donations)

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

We've got BC up and running on the new server, Buttercup, and it does run faster! We have a few configuration bugs to work out and then we will get one of her sisters up and running to share the load. It's been a long and tiring road and we aren't done yet. UPDATE: As of Sunday mid-morning, we have Buttercup and Bubbles sharing the load! Site seems faster still and appears even more stable. We did lose about 1/2 hour of comments and edits in the changeover, but no stories.

We paid a month's worth of service Friday, that's $528 and we had some other expenses related to setting up our corporation, nothing major, ordering checks and stuff.

So here we are again, hoping that people who like what we do will help us keep doing it.

Here's the link for the Hatbox and on the Janglewood page you can find a link to send a gift via pay pal.

We do need the money in order to pay bills and make another trip to the server farm in upstate New Jersey. Thanks for what you are able to give.

Hugs,
Erin, Piper and CAt

A few coppers in the box, I hope it fills soon.

Next server name

Will the partner server be named Wesley or the Dread Pirate Roberts. Or are we using B.C. to come up with names like British Colony or Bologna Casserole?

The next few servers are already named and two of them are Blossom and Bubbles. One is Zuzu and I've forgotten what the other one is.

No no no no no...

If you were to address me by the name Mojo Jojo, that would be correct, for my name is Mojo Jojo! And I will only be addressed by that name, which is Mojo Jojo!

Someone sent a donation and asked for a PM that it had been received but ... no username that the system recognizes was provided so I don't know how to send a PM! If this was you, please PM me so I can confirm you donation. :)

Or...

...someone find a new use case for Stardust? The poor site's still alive, but gathering cobwebs as the last story to be posted there was back in 2011...

We're going to try on both of those things

that answer gave me a case of the chuckles.
