Dear visitor and user of BOINCstats. It's that time again where I ask for your (financial) help .

BOINCstats has grown over the years, many things have changed, we added a separate webserver, we joined forces with Primegrid, last year we upgraded our hosting to our own rack, and we created many many stats. But one thing never changed. One proud server was always there. It was the BOINCstats webserver, then it also hosted Primegrid, and after adding the server for Primegrid and the BOINCstats webserver it became the backbone of the stats: it runs all the updates and prepares the stats for the webserver.

But all good things come to an end sometime. Lately the database server has been struggling, it became unstable. It's also getting slow because users and hosts keep increasing, but the server can no longer be upgraded.

So, it's time to replace it....

The parts for the server have been ordered, but you can understand that it's not a €250 budget computer. So I'll say it quickly so it won't seem that much: we need €2000.

If you like BOINCstats, BAM!, the forum, the user profiles or if you just like your daily portion of stats, then please consider donating a small amount. You can do so on the <a href="http://boincstats.com/page/donations.php">donation page</a>.

Thank you very much for your support!

Willy.

Willy...shot you 10 euro...hope it helps...all I can do at this time.

Willy, did you have time to figure out some performance increase doing the incremental/daily updates?

For the curious ones, this is the part list:

• One tissue to clean of some blood after cutting myself
  

The host update is a few hours quicker than on the old server, the user/team update is about 33% quicker.

Because it's so hot I'm forced to have a BBQ in about an hour so I can't continue then. Life sucks doesn't it?
