The site is bogged down to a pure crawl.

Batten down the hatches, this is probably more than just a mere coincidence.

It's because the new ad went up, today and drudge gave it a link. Wink

Things are smoothing out now and should be noticeably clearer, soon.

Then you need to MIRROR that ad onto a separate server (or SEVERAL). I'm sure someone SOMEWHERE has bandwidth they'd be willing to share for the cause.

I have several GB of bandwidth that I pay for and do not use. Let me know what I can do to help.

It's been very slow for me all day. I think the traffic could easily increase 50-fold or more. This word is getting out, and growth could be logrythmic.

We need all our old and new supporters to be able to access the site, participate in the forums and stay well informed, to keep the momentum building.

And no doubt lots of moles will be visiting to spy and to attempt to slow down or shut down the site.

I suggest a big increase in capacity before the site gets clogged and people are unable to access and navigate quickly.

It needs to be really easy and fast to visit, learn and contribute to the cause.

A clogged-up site in the next few days could dramatically impact our ability to grow our membership and continue building momentum.

The more you donate the faster it gets. Simple.

I'm getting the impression that the SBVT no longer even needs to ask Smile

It was reported on TV that there SBVT received 100,000 worth of donations in the past 12 hours. Keep it going. That is what it is going to take to beat them.
