ian, phpc.social is now about 4100 users! Welcome to the new folks here!
As a reminder, servers and related costs are funded by donations from the community. We accept donations via https://opencollective.com/phpcommunity/projects/phpc-social,
While we have a significant financial cushion there, with recent needed server upgrades last I checked our monthly costs were a little above our monthly donations. We aren't in dire financial straits, but hopefully this heads-up we will continue to not be :)
