Due to the increased load on the servers (mainly due to the asset repos and the asset downloader), we have been forced to relocate some parts of the infrastructure to a commercial host.

Up until now, the MakeHuman community has acted without a budget. For example, we have never had ads on the makehumancommunity.org domain. The small expenses that have been necessary (such as domain name etc), have been paid with private means.

However, as the expenses have now increased, we're going to take a swipe at keeping a Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/makehuman.

The hope is to maybe go break-even with hosting costs in a year or so.

We'll avoid doing in-your-face advertisement for this, and just mention it in the start of tutorial videos and whatnot.
