Server Problems: GetSimple Forum is always Down??

[cobber]

Shawn has been talking about a similar idea over here: http://get-simple.info/forums/showthread.php?tid=8357 (there you can also read how the hosting is at the moment)

Yeah I was reading that post a few days ago, not sure many people would sign up for a monthly subscription though, unless it was for a small amount that you wouldn't really miss from your account every month . . . say £2.00 ($3.00)

If we got even 100 people per month to do that, it would be a start.

Wordpress.com offer hosting for businesses, maybe GS could do the same. That seems to be part of their business model along with traditional donations.

I also read some of the info on https://www.patreon.com/ - I like the look of that.

I think many of us who regularly use GS are willing to help in some way. Even if it's not necessarily with money but with time and contributions to the cms. The old saying 'many hands make light work' still applies I think. Even if each of us made a conscious effort to promote GS on social media several times per week then the exposure would be dramatically increased.
