New Server or Forum Skin?

Ok, Big Boss, the site owner and one of the administrators has decided to do some changes to the FFF. He was thinking of getting a new forum skin for the FFF but, due to our current server problems and the addition of the Chat Rooms that eat a lot of bandwidth, he was thought of getting a new server instead.

Since each and every single opinion of our members count for taking important decisions to decide what's best for the FFF, here we will add a poll.

The options are:

A) New Skin
B) New Server

New Server.

I know a new skin would be groovy and all but i quite like the current one, and the need for a new server is far greater.

The fact that my vote to this poll took 12 seconds to process should speak volumes.
Earlier, it took 38 seconds to load a page in the AdminCP.

New server definitely. The chatroom is a nice function to get to know other members and some of the members and it is annoying have to wait like 5 minutes hitting the refresh button even though it will probably happen again 2 or 3 minutes later. Also, I quite like this skin so new server for me.

New server. No doubt... this isn't even a choice. That chatroom bogs things down way too much.

I love Fields' arguement as to why we need the new skin, but I have to say the server problem is pissing me right off.

New Server and I'll explain why.

The FFF already had a shoutbox which caused several problems with the server. It was removed and agreed to get a chat room instead. The Chat Rooms worked well until a few days later.

The amount of bandwithc that the server consumes is technically killing the server which causes this problem. As a result, forum activity will be affected and we will have yet another problem.

So here what it is...
New Server: FFF keeps Chat Rooms though no new skin for now.
New Skin: FFF must get rid of Chat Rooms or else the problem will continue.

So since like Aztec said, this shoouldn't even be a poll, I say new Server.

And look he agrees too -----> "Cookie Monster wants new server"
