Changing servers is a very drastic step. And I also don't like
changing from an open, educational institution to a commercial entity
(we had that discussion already in the thread about our own domain
name). Please let's first see if we can resolve the problems with sunsite.
Aside from the recent responsiveness problems they provide really
*excellent* hosting, and they always tried to be helpful.

I'll send them a mail now, asking what we can honestly expect in terms of
responsiveness. Please let's wait until we know more here.

*If* we change to another host, one featuring other gamedev things would be
preferable, yes.
