Guys, I know that the counter is awesome to watch seeing all of the donations stream in so quickly and in such amount. The problem is all of this constant bombardment of the server is downing the poor site and the application running it. So for an hour or two please do not visit the RonPaul2008 site.
I've submitted a suggestion to move the updating thermometer to the donations page and just a graphical link to it from the main page. The problem is right now the server is dying due to the massive bandwidth consumption and processor usage of having a rapidly updating application on the front page.
The problem is that we are consuming the bandwidth that could be better apportioned to people who are UNAWARE of Dr. Paul's message. Let them have the benefit for a little bit of being able to see the site and hear Dr. Paul's message. Which will undoubtedly result in even more donations, so it's a win for us and Dr. Paul.
