They are happy to sit and chug and churn and serve without an army of people fussing over them. Yes, we do upgrades. Yes, we do backups. Yes, on occasion we even go out there and clear off the dust bunnies that invade. If anyone would like to pay me a month's worth of what people likely spend on one server for Tynon for these tasks, please let me know. I would be happy to do nice things with this money.
(And yes, there are designers (art and code) and tech support (well, a canned list of tech support messages and probably one poor guy who does gem refunds) so I am aware that bottom line, it does cost more than an electric bill to run Tynon.)
