Byennie's thread update on CelticsStrong

[ozgod]

Referring to this thread to help Byennie defray the cost of running the site - OUR site. He may run it, but we make it what it is, by our content and our participation and our community.

This is the thread: https://forum.celticsstrong.com/index.php?topic=110200.msg3360501#new

Byennie was asking for suggestions on the thread but unfortunately it is locked, probably because it's in the Announcements forum. I wanted to say I think a Patreon is a great idea and will allow people to contribute as they can.

I'm down for whatever to keep this thing afloat.   It's been a part of my life for nearly 20 years now and I'd like to keep it going if we can.

Byennie, I just sent a PM before I saw this thread. I am happy to contribute monthly or I could send a bit more right now. I appreciate all you have done to keep this site afloat and am happy to help. Please let me know how best to contribute.

I'm all for helping out but someone from the tech community explain to my why a sub 1000 member forum board requires more than a $20/m VPS or some mini AWS account?

What is happening here that this site is taking up so much server resources? Does the database need a clean up? Does some of the code need a look at to see if something is causing issues?
