FIRST Topsite down - how can we help?

This message was posted on FIRST Topsite:

Quote:
Help Save FIRST Topsite!! The topsite has been shutdown by the webhost due to the volume of traffic to the site, which was effecting the performance of other websites on the shared server.

...

In order to get the topsite going again we will need donations to get space on a virtual private server where resources are dedicated to us.
There is a donation meter trying to raise $5,000 in donations to help FIRST Topsite. I think FIRST Topsite is an awesome site, but I think we can keep it up without buying a virtual private server. The Blue Alliance would be very willing to host FIRST Topsite on our server, and I suspect Chief Delphi probably has some spare CPU cycles kicking around too.

Who is in charge of FIRST Topsite so that I can contact them about keeping the site running without spending lots of money on a virtual private server? I can't find contact information on their page.

Thanks!

Re: Where did topsite go?

Although people have offered it above...

I have a dedicated server that I am doing nothing with at the present. Your welcome to it. I'm just wasting money right now keeping it up. Its a LAMP server so if that fits your needs, just send me a PM and I'll be happy to help you save TOPSITE.

Re: Where did topsite go?

Sooo... what's the deal with the situation? You seem to have plenty of offers for help, but still the meter appears to stand empty on your site. This is a very valuable resource for webmasters, not to mention it's fun to see other team's sites. Searching through the sub-forum here is a pain.

If you could please update us on the status, I would be very grateful, as I'm sure others would, too.

I agree with Greg, I think a business class hosting account for $200 a year should handle the bandwidth. How do we get in contact with the admins of FIRST Topsite ?

I also just sent him a message urging him to think about the options offered.
