With the appearance of the new "Donate Hardware" link in the footer, FA is once again begging people to donate new hardware (or rather, buy it off an
Amazon wishlist) to replace "aging infrastructure (2007-2008 era systems)", which is odd because all of those systems were believed to be
retired. My guess is they are still in use alongside the new stuff and he needs to find an excuse to justify building more servers.
This time around, Sean has loaded up his wishlist with six server chassis, 30 hard drives (8 of which are SSDs), 8 processors, and (of course) 256GB of RAM. The goal here appears to be to build four "app" servers and two new file servers.
This comes after Princess Piche has authorized what is believed to be the first "commercial" advertisement on FA, an ad for "Five Nights at Freddy's" which appears in the "big" ad area at the bottom of the page, which makes you wonder how much he undercharged the game's developer if he still has to beg his users to buy him stacks of RAM.
The total cost of his wishlist comes to about
$13,621.05$15,894.51. "IT'S A FREE SITE!!!" indeed.
