OTW October drive!!!

[astolat]

Yes it is that time of year again when the biannual OTW membership drive runs! (On the off-chance that you don't know what the OTW is, it is the fabulous nonprofit organization that among many other shiny things pays for the Archive of Our Own.)

Speaking of which, while I am still dancing over the performance improvements that our awesome sysadmins Sidra and james_ managed to wring out of the machines for us in the last deploy, but we are definitely going to need MOAR SERVERS, not because the current ones are going bad but because the archive is growing so fast! So if you can throw a few bucks the way of the org, they will pay off with even shinier archive in not too distant future.

Also on a totally self-centered note, you need to donate to be a member and vote in our elections, and I am standing for the Board again this year, to see the Archive through to infinity AND BEYOND version 1.0! So please donate (and then vote for me, haha)!

Hypatia wants you to!



(yes that is a stuffed Temeraire she is nomming on, he also encourages supporting the OTW!)

And if you can, please signal-boost! Just c&p the textbox below:
