I want to move the server to a new provider, I would like to pay a year up front, this saves us a SHITLOAD, the cost is $2127 per year for the new server.
I currently have $269 worth of nopistons savings ( i know not good) I am going to throw $1,000 of my money at this, which leads us needing about $1000 that we need to raise. I need some suggestions.

You could start an investment service. People will entrust you with their money. You send them monthly statements showing huge profits. It's a tried and true scheme!
Sorry, other than that and selling your body, I got nothin'.

about how much does it save?
we effectively get 3 months free, I've got a couple options, one will be to try and boost the supporter memberships, two i may go to our sponsors and offer them a significant discount for paying for a full year, three and this one was suggested by a couple people we have people donate extra parts to ebay. Basically send me pics and description I'll ebay it, you ship it.
