We've got some really bad news to report. We Must Ignite This Couch, by far the best internet resource for all things West Virginia, has outgrown its host's bandwidth. A detailed explanation is available here, on their Webmaster's site.
To temporarily keep the site up and running, the guys at WMITC have signed up for a dedicated server. One problem: Jude and maadman are just two guys like you and me, with jobs and families and very little spare change - and the new server costs ten times as much as their old one. Right now, they've got enough money to keep the site going for two months.
The only permanent solution right now is to buy a new server and run the site independently - completely by themselves. Servers tend to cost quite a bit of coin, however, and right now they just don't have the resources to do that. This is where they're asking for the help of Mountaineer nation - they're taking paypal donations at the above link. Donate some cash to help em' out. There's no other site on the net that's as dedicated to WVU and the West Virginia community as the couch is, and they really deserve all the help they can get.
Thanks a lot guys - land et's goooooo Mountaineers.
