    Future Roadmap - posted by paperk 3 hours and 14 mins ago [Discuss]
    As the number of users and torrents continues to increase at PTP, it is important to secure our future both logistically and financially. It has been 6 months since our site was transferred to LeaseWeb's datacenters - a home we had envisioned to be only temporary. Put simply, our current server is not suited to handle the load from the tracker and database. It's time to lift off from the glorified seedbox upon which we sit and settle down to a colocated server housing SSDs, GBs of RAM by the dozen and all the other bells and whistles PTP deserves.

    After 3 full months of closed donations, it's time to start raising funds for a permanent solution. If you'd like to help out, head over to /donate.php where you'll be able to donate in one of the following two ways:

    * Flattr - A somewhat novelty method of accepting donations but we'd like to plant this with the idea that it may one day become our sole method of raising funds for the site. Please read the wiki for detailed instructions on donating via Flattr.
    * Google Checkout


    With the addition of a DDoS protected IRC server and a new development server, our monthly costs have risen to $700. Going forward, the donation counter will be reset at the beginning of each month. Any excess funds will be pooled to cover the cost of purchasing the hardware for a colocated server. At present we still have funds remaining from the last drive to secure PTP's immediate future but not enough to cover the logistics involved with colocation (we're a few grand short).

    PTP's membership, for the most part, has been quite steady for the past year. However, as the size of our archive continues to rapidly expand, it becomes imperative that more users be let in to help shoulder the weight. We'd like to be ready with the hardware once the time is right to take steps to expand our userbase.
