Yeah, I know. There's a great chance you'll say the system would work as intended if such a plan were in place...
I think you completely misunderstood the issue. They do happen when the forum is not busy - this is why so far it has only crashed while no one is using it. The thing I can't do is make it take less memory to perform an operation without stripping the database of half our posts which really isn't an option. And no, I can't just optimize a portion of the database, it doesn't support that kind of slicing.
Do know:
PayPal charges me 3-5% per successful transaction. ( 2.99% domestic US, everywhere else it varies - although AU seems to be more like 1.5% )
Stripe charges me 2.9% + $0.30 per successful domestic transaction. More for people paying from outside the US

With the average donation size, Stripe eats up about 30% of the donation. Please only use it if you have to, and if you
do, please consider a larger donation to make up for transaction fees.
