Zac, Upgrading the site has been on my 'todo' list forever but it takes second place to things like these lists, etc. The colors and UI are about 10 years out of date and are in dire need for an upgrade. If you have an idea or two on UI, I'd be very happy to look at it. I might not be great at creating graphics/UI, but once given a design, I can make it work within a pixel.
I'll deal a bit with speed a little later today. I'm moving the JVM around, upgrading to the latest release, and reading a few docs on better garbage collection. It'll all help. As for hosting, the site actually has very high mail traffic besides the website itself and hosting is being provided by ahphosting.com (formerly cfhosting.com). They've been supporting the site(s) for quite a few years now. I appreciate the offer of help. Cash is always nice, but hands on help comes from the heart.
