The SERVERS have ARRIVED!

https://www.wincustomize.com/store/

In November, WinCustomize lost 2 of its main servers to hardware failure. And amazingly, in January we lost another one! In all the years Stardock had been running websites we'd never had any server crashes and yet we lost 3 in a period of just a few months.

So in December we ran a WinCustomize subscription drive to raise funds to replace the servers.  The servers have been arriving and hopefully you've been noticing a steady increase in the site's performance.

Here's a picture of some of the servers! Thanks again for all your help! If you aren't a WinCustomize subscriber, you can subscribe clicking on the store link above.

No wonder you lost 3 servers in one month, you need to buy a rack for those things! Don't just sit them on top of each other!

Those are servers that haven't been sent out yet.  They do sit in racks at the co-lo (they are being set up before being shipped).  Those are servers that will help load distribution on the servers that are currently out there.
