It's worked!!
Let the server go slow for awhile, then make this thread about how the forum will die, let it go down for a few days, bring it back up, watch the donations flood in and then take a (useless really) picture gallery down and free up the required space. TBH, I hope you did do that, because anything else doesn't make sense! Let's face it your a business man, you not here for the whole care in the community charade!
