MetaFilter's site and server can always use upgrades of hardware, software, and bandwidth, as well as more stable funding for continued support of its small but high-skilled moderation and backend team! If you'd like to chip in, you can donate to Metafilter.

Major current events threads often spread beyond the scope of the original topic, as major current events are not so focused, and the moderators often try to keep MetaFilter from being inundated with posts on such "hot button" topics. This page is a way to track such posts, as they can sometimes be hard to find once they move off of the front page of MetaFilter.
