So why doesn't Guru host something like a donation drive?

For something like a new server.

I know I'd donate, because personally, I like my loading times on forums to be a lot shorter than they are now (Probably a good 15-25 seconds to load single topics), and I don't much enjoy having to wait 15 seconds to skip an advertisement on auction pages when the auction I want to bid on ends in 10 seconds.

we dont need a new server, just tweaking some stuff
to avoid the ads you can subscribe to the Guru Select Program
