(Hello there, people... It's been a while since I was last around at this place. Other things have kept me preoccupied, so I haven't exactly been around a lot anywhere on the internet... But seeing this "crisis", I feel sort of obliged to add my ten cents and pop out of stasis at least for the duration. Don't mind me! ^^; )
I might be able to help out a little. I don't know if it does any good, but I at least want to make the offer.
As some of you know, me, Tiamat and Neko jointly have a small website (http://www.digifantasy.com if you care for a shameless plug) that is hosted by the aforementioned Ketnar. Now, our hosting and bandwidth is technically unlimited. Of course, it's not *really* unlimited, naturally it's expected to be kept within reasonable limits, but these are not clearly defined, and I know the Ketnar guys are tolerant about things as long as you don't harm the performance of their entire server or try to leech so many resources out of them they end up making a loss.
Anyway, out of that "unlimited within reasonable bounds" measure, the Digital Fantasy is really using hardly any resources, so I'd say it'd be acceptable to whack some more stuff on there, without ripping off the Ketnar guys. Now, no use letting that space and bandwidth all go to waste, it's payed for after all... So my offer: If it's needed, I'd be willing to let the DaD have some of those resources. I'm probably not in a position to host everything here (and I wouldn't want to find out the hard way, anyway). However, I can offer to host some of it. Maybe just the fiction, or the message board, or maybe I could set up some sort of mirror for parts of the gallery. Anything to ease the load on the DaD's main server.
The offer, vague as it may be, stands, and if it's wanted, I'll gladly give my help. Feel free to give me your thoughts on this, people, and Chibi - if you're interested, drop me a line and maybe we can discuss this further. If not, well, then not. ^^;
