Bad news!
Our HDD drive is becoming one big bad block. That means that sometime in future HDD of our server will be dead. Since our server is pretty outdated we decided buying new server instead of buying new HDD. Server which will provide 4Tb of webspace will cost us 600 bucks which means no drugs and no love for money for us for 2-3 monthes. If you want to save us from this terrible lot please send us donations via paypal.
