My Idea to Keep the Server Up

[choklo]

We have over 3000 people registered to this forum. I'd guess at least half of them are playing the emulater. If we all contributed a mere $10 tomorrow, we'd have more than enough money to buy DDOS attack prevention equipment. You know this type of thing won't go away anytime soon. There will be countless angry, banned, copycats, antisocial (etc.) people out there that will want to do this again.
I'm personally donating $25 tonight. It's more then worth it to keep our game up. How long are you willing to let the server stay down due to some sad nerd, who is keeping us all from the game we love?

Anyone disagree?
