The site has been running slow lately, and while I believe this is a problem with the server for several reasons, it never hurts to optimize stuff either. So I went ahead and deleted a lot of junk code (code that does nothing). Mostly, this was just code for the old prestige system and the old chatroom. However, it is possible (indeed, entirely likely) that I accidently deleted some very important code. Everything seems to be working fine for me, but if you get an error message somewhere, just let me know.
Also, I am thinking of switching hosting providers since the server keeps on slowing down. I actually would go ahead and do it, but I've already paid for a years worth of hosting, which was a huge mistake to begin with for numerous reasons, and that's a sunk cost that I cannot get back. However, what I am thinking of is setting up a paypal donation system by which I could recover that sunk cost and then switch hosting providers (that way the financial loss to me is not so great). Through paypal, if only the active members (those who log in at least once a week), donate one dollar each, then I will have totally recovered the sunk cost. If that sounds like a good idea, let me know (I say that phrase way too much... ).
