An update from Bolter & Chainsword's Facebook page:

Brother Argos here ... I have spent most of the day trying to organise a new server and the tech team who will configure it and get our data back. I ended up feeling a bit useless not being able to do the work myself and was getting frustrated.

However as I was just about to go to bed I decided to check the donations@bolterandchainsword Paypal account to see how we were doing and was completely amazed / stunned.

We have raised just over $4000 in less than 18 hrs or so.

This will let us get a very good server for our new home and help considerably with our running costs. We can now afford the linux server guru I want to use to do the work I cannot. After a pretty bad weekend with no server and diminishing hope, my faith in the basic good nature of humanity (gamers especially) is restored.

Looking at the results, I think we need to thank you all for your contributions. No matter how big or small you stood up and were counted. We got donations as large as $500 - $1000, all the way down to $1 or $2.

I am going to leave the donations page up, as the more we get will help with further costs. In the morning I will purchase a new server for us, and let the Techmarines who don't require bionic eyes get down to work.

Well done everyone who donated ...

The Emperor Protects!

Awesome stuff, guys. Really glad to see Dakkanauts stepping up and showing how to be positive and to support our community when folks are in need.

21 Bolter salute for everyone who donated and for B&C! Best wishes to Brother Argos and his crew.

hpe our donation might help us get onto the waagh. Gaining entrance to that place is trickier than for a caribbean communist attempting to join the carlton club...

**Taeken**

Donated as well. B&C is a staple of 40k

Yeah, I've been wondering when they're going to upgrade and sort new user registrations out. People keep asking over on tUGS about it.

**Dysartes**

I'll chip in something when I get paid on Friday - I've got one of the first batch of B&C cases, but I never did get around to sourcing foam for it...

Now i'm sure that actually people doesn't bother to read my posts... i allready posted this 4 posts before on the first page

**SickSix**

I am going to make a donation because I have some threads on there i don't want to see go away.

However, after that last long downtime, it seems like traffic took a permanent hit. The sight seems to have a much slower post rate. Maybe it's just me. And I'm afraid this is going to impact the traffic once again.

Sorry to be the Negative Nancy, I'm just worried for the future of B&C.

**Dentry**

As a B&C lurker, I'm glad to donate for a good cause even if the goal was already met.

**Tyr Grimtooth**

I am a huge fan of the B&C and all the painting challenges and such. Here is the last update from their Facebook page:

Martynas, who is installing the Operating system and configuring the new server .. just cut and paste the following to me: -

Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327
Processor Name Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 V2 @ 3.50GHz
Processor Speed (MHz) 3500.327

That is four times as many Processors as we have had before. Each one is running roughly twice as fast as our previous processors. Huge step up in processor power .. HUGE!
