Are there plans to bump to v0.18.1 at the same time? Only asking as my themes will need to be updated when we do.
- Do you have an updated copy of your theme already? If you send it ahead of time, happy to drop it in whenever we do the upgrade.
  
  This should get us going: https://pastebin.com/TxTNn8y5
  I'm reworking the theme a bit and trying to shape it into something that stands on its own.
Happy Canada day. And wow! The instance is extremely fast now. Thank you!
- We won't accept anything less than extremely fast!
  It's a big difference going from a 8vCPU 8GB RAM VPS where the actual resources were likely quite over subscribed to a dedicated server with a 6c/12t Ruby Lake Xeon, 32GB RAM, 2x 512GB NVMe drives in RAID with it's own 1Gbps Public connection. From the data we have it should be sustainable with this server until about 40-50K users.
  We're currently paying ~$140/month for that, and have plans in place to scale up as needed when it's needed. Over the next few days we will reopen the ability to make donations to cover the costs of operations.
