Thanks to generous contributions from fans, HPANA has purchased a top-of-the-line Dell server and taken up residence in a new datacenter as of today! After years of growth (and strain), we'll finally be able to open the floodgates and develop some great new tools for Harry Potter fans. Stick around for a few years more, we'll be here.
Donations to Server Fund 3 exceeded $2,500 and allowed us to purchase a Dell PowerEdge 2850, upgrades and software licenses totalling over $4,000.
As you may know, running a web site that has become as unexpectedly, insanely large as HPANA costs a lot of money. To make up for it, we have included ads on the site for some time now. Members who donate at least $10 get nearly all of those ads removed for an entire year, as a special thank you for contributing.
HPANA will be around for many more years, and will continue to bring fans exciting new services and features. YOU have made that all possible with your continued readership and interest. On behalf of HPANA's entire staff, thank you. We look forward to serving Harry Potter fans for a long time.

Thank you very much to all the HPANA mods for putting so much time into making this such a good site. Sorry I couldn't make a contribution, but the amount you were given really pays tribute to all your hard work and the excellent results.

Great! I hopwe the move is fairly painless for the webmanster and all. I know the site has been acting a bitscrewey, but it will all be finished soon. As a bonus, from 6-10 PM I will be over my friend's house so I won't even notice. I wish the best of luck to the wentire staff, espescially Cheese*r when the server moves. Hopefully we won't grow out of this server as quickly...
Laura!

I glad that HPANA got so much money, but please don't move! Waaaaaaaa! Oh well, at least they posted it big and bold for everyone to see! I'll try to remember...... Chances are the blond in me will come to the computer and freak out because HPANA isn't here!!!

I'm glad you're getting a new server! I have decided that this is about the best place for all the headlines and news notes about Hary Potter. A great way to keep up with all the stuff since I have limited access time to computers at home and the one at work is screwy these days. I'm anxiously awaiting the results.

All right! That's so awesome. Faster and better, that's so great. I didn't even know we donated that much. That's awesome. I guess tomorrow I'll see how much it's changed. Oh, there's nothing better than fast connections. So much fun.
