+            All 100M+ game server snapshots used to be stored in the main
+            Postgres database.  However, space, scale and cost started to become
+            a real issue, with the database growing up to 100GB and costing more
+            than $140 per month.
+          </p>
+          <p>
+            All snapshots are being moved to R2 in a compressed format.  As a
+            result, the database will be much lighter, and the project will be
+            cost efficient, decreasing the cost to not even a dollar per month.
+            Performance improvements should follow as well, since indexes are
+            now much smaller.

+            Small new feature: on a clan page, past members can be listed as
