In the https://www.quaddicted.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=104 and I want to express my deepest gratitude to all the contributors again.
The plan was to migrate Quaddicted to a bigger server. While did I rent that server, it was and still is occupied with about 950GB files from the Fileplanet archival. During the year I meant to do the switch anyways but then some fantastic new server offers came online: http://web.archive.org/web/20130923171008/http://www.ovh.de/dedicated_server/isgenug_16g.xml. 25€ per month for 2 terabytes of storage and i5 processor would have meant I could host the ftp2 Fileplanet stuff and still have 1TB for everything else. The processor would have allowed for capturing Quake demos to video files on the server! So I decided to get that one. Unfortunately I waited too long and they sold out. And since then, OVH has not provided the new line of servers. I still want a server like that.
Now, what does this mean. Quaddicted remained on its old server (15-16€ per month) and I spent money on the other (meant to be new home) server (18-19€ per month).

Ouch!
So… if the 25€ super server or a similarly priced, similarly powerful alternative returns, I would end both current servers and switch. 12 months x 25€ is 300€. If the server offer does not come back, I would probably be keeping both servers alive as time for a migration is getting short this year. In that case expenses would be (16+19)€ x 12 months = 420€. So let’s make that dope number the target this year. More than twice than last year but I hope I made the issue somewhat understandable. Of course I [em]might[/em] just spend it all on booze and girls. Any extra means last year’s extra expenses are getting covered.

I actually meant to add a Bitcoin donations/microtransaction feature to Quaddicted in ~2010 but decided against it because of the public nature of transactions and the necessity to either mine in a pool or buy them for “real money”. I still find those aspects a major problem with it but hey, I could be a gazillionaire today (or with the same probability married to my highschool crush). So if you made a gambling fortune, think about how many you would have given back then.

Now, enough talk about money. What [em]really[/em] keeps this site going are your contributions on the website itself. 
Thank you!

PS: If someone here has experience with Docker or a similar Linux container solution, I would be very interested in some help. It sounds like a perfect idea for Quaddicted.
