For those who missed it, I posted a blog just under a week ago discussing the funds needed to obtain a new chat service and added a tracker to the homepage. Within a few hours of posting, a single unknown Mugger had already contributed $300 of the $350 needed. The same individual funded the remainder of the project early this morning. I need to coordinate time with the developer, but we will likely be updated by the end of the week with a squeaky-clean fully-functional glitch-free (knock on wood) chat, all thanks to the generosity of one person.
I do not know who did it, but I definitely would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to this person. I know a lot of you have also been struggling with chat-related issues as well. If you'd also like to thank the Mystery Mugger for their thoughtful contribution, please do so here.
