Because of the DDOS attack that has plagued the Nexus for the past few days new server equipment is needed to fend off this type of attack. This type of equipment is not cheap and the Traveler has put a lot of time and his own personal resources to keep the Nexus up and running as it is. I ask that everyone that can, please donate.

Thank you for this post acolon_5! Because more and more people are telling me that they like to donate and the fact that we do need an investment if we want to get the DMT-Nexus running again I am setting aside my ever ongoing "no donations" remark with some mixed feelings. At this moment I'm looking at the options to get professional anti-DDoS equipment together with a huge bandwidth to withstand any future DDoS attack. This does not come cheap and it present even a monthly extra cost for the extra bandwidth and rack space. If the price of the anti-DDoS equipment will be too high to make this plan work or if the DDoS will go away by itself I will refund all the money immediately. For my normal life I don't need any extra money, please understand that I've always been proud that I could bring the DMT-Nexus to people around the world without any donation. Kind regards, The Traveler

DMT NEXUS DONATION I'm more than willing to help out, just have a quick question as to how it will show on my credit card statement? Will payment say dmt-nexus? Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
Red and yellow then came to be,
reaching out to me, lets me see.
There is so much more and it beckons me to look though to these,
infinite possibilities.
As below so above and beyond I imagine,
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

I bit the bullet and donated so found answer to that question, Hope I can donate a bit more soon glad to help keep this great place going and hope others give back a little when we have all got so much from this site. Thanks to the traveler and all the mods for the excellent work hope you guys can keep it up. Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

I'm definitely willing to donate some funds to help with any anti-DDoS equipment needed. I'll set aside a bit from my next pay cheque.

I know I'll be making a donation, and must admit all the knowledge on this site is worth a lot more than my 10 or 20 bucks.
Hopefully enough people take the step to help the community
=D
Happy travels

Do we really -need- to upgrade it? This DDoS-attack wasn't a one timer? If all the data is safe it's okay. What is learned cannot be unlearned.

The attack was at least twice, and Trav is working on getting a permanent protection, which will cost money, as this is only temporary now. He said he will give back the money if there is another cheap solution or its not needed anymore. I understand that each one has their money situation and it might be hard to donate. Personally I feel that the Nexus must be worth at least a couple of my bucks even though Im struggling to stretch my small earnings till the end of each month

This is the first time I donated money for an internet project without even the slightest hesitation Honestly, I could never have gained so much knowledge (and maybe some wisdom) without the help of the nexus, thank you Traveler and all the nexus members  To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.

Thank you all for the kind words and the generous donations. It's really moving to see how much you people care! Up till now there were three attacks and I guess another one will happen soon.  Kind regards, The Traveler

I wish I could have donated more. Times are tough all over it seems. Keep fighting the good fight Trav and thank you for all of your time and efforts. Convert a melodic element into a rhythmic element...

The Traveler, If you don't mind me asking, do you know how much this upgraded protection will cost you in total? Do not listen to anything, "Steely" says. He is a made up character that his owner likes to role play with. His owner is very delusional and everything he says is completely untrue and ridiculous.

The hosting costs will rise significantly per month but that also means we have about 20 times as much upload/download speed as before. I'm still looking at the best solution, cost and performance wise. Luckily The Netherlands is filled with DataCenters.  Kind regards, The Traveler
