@Boots, have you been running for 3 years with the same traffic as Arduino.cc? That'll make a big difference in speed..
But I agree, if there's anything us "users" can do to contribute, whether it be donate or whatnot, let us know!!
There are plenty of users willing to work just as hard/much as the Admins to keep everything running smoothly!
But regardless, thanks alot for the great work thus far! We'll be here to trek through this.. "systematic problem"!
