As part of all the changes we've made to servers, site designs, etc, Heidi and I wanted to share one change with you all that we know some of our members might be pleased to know.

When we upgraded the server, we made the decision to spend a little more money on it, not to make it faster or anything else, but to make it green. So now our server runs entirely on green (wind as I understand it) energy.

We all spend quite a bit of time online. Servers across the United States use of 1.5% off all energy consumption. So we felt it would be good to do our part to conserve energy in this way.

Watch for the little energy saver logo thing to be on the bottom of the pages here as soon as we can figure out how to load it on and where we want it.

I love this site. Thanks for helping us all to do our part of saving energy - now I won't feel quite so guilty for all the time I spend on here! :)

Did you wind up paying a little extra for the electricity portion (that the power company claims will be used to build alternative power) or did you stick up a huge wind turbine outside the server room? (I want pictures if that's the case!) Or is there another way?

That's pretty cool.

Now, from someone who doesn't understand how these things work, should we all be hoping for windy days so the server keeps working?:giggle2:
