chomijiFolks, you may recall me recommending the manga art gallery at Aethereality.net as a resource for making icons, etc. I haven't been able to get into it for a couple of weeks, and I just found out why. Posted on main page of the site is this notice:
Aethereality Gallery is now closed. It is using way too much CPU resource for shared hosting that Dreamhost can no longer support.
By "resource", I'm not talking about space or bandwidth. I have plenty of those already. Unless I have $40 to shell out for private server hosting each month, which I don't, I can't bring the gallery back. Sorry.
I've told her (as have several other users) that I'd be willing to help pay for this to be back up. If anyone else has any suggestions for her, please let her know. This was an amazing resource, and it's terrible that it's gone!

Actually, Aethereality Gallery came back a couple of weeks later with a Paypal button for donations! I kick them some money whenever I feel like a have a little extra to spare - I figure they deserve it because I've made so many icons from their artwork.
It's nice when the WWW actually works the way it should.
