So I've gone ahead and payed for atleast another year on Dreamhost, so INTL will certainly continue on into 2008. However, donations are always nice  (paypal - hgnavi@gmail.com)
Also, since Dreamhost just turned 10 years old, they've gone ahead and decided to upgrade components on their server (it may be better than it was before), as well as to double what is available on this account now. To put this in perspective, INTL and a few other sites on this account only uses up about 3.1% (soon to be 1.5%) of server space and 0.0% of bandwidth.
Since this is the case, I've gotten a few ideas:
1) First, you will now notice that everyone's upload quota has been raised to 50 MB and the allowable avatars has been raised from 10 to 30.
2) Secondly, how would you guys feel about having @interestingnonetheless.net email accounts?
3) Thirdly, and most importantly, I have this weird "omg why the fuck would you do this" idea. Something which I'm still not absolutely sure about, and will take my time doing: providing webspace (of a still undetermined size) to you guys.
The webspace (which would only be used for LEGAL purposes - so no child porn, no copyrighted works, no spam, no hate works, no bandwidth hogs (ie. huge files, DC, porn sites), nothing illegal) would not only include FTP capabilities, but also (if requested) mysql, domain docking (if you have your own domain), all the state-of-the-art features Dreamhost already offers, and some nifty pre-installed programs (a wordpress blog anyone?), and potentially more (enough to facilitate most needs) if you want. It all depends how successful this would be. For a place to have your own site, host a few files, have a blog, and so on, it isn't a bad idea at all.
For the most part, I'm going to take it slow with this one (and greatly appreciate suggestions). Therefore, I'm going to provide this to those who ask for it whom are reasonably active, premium members and/or have over 1000 posts. Unless you have your own domain (in which case you would need to change nameservers to point to Dreamhost) then the default username will be _______.interestingnonetheless.net. If you're interested, please do PM me.
If this is something people would like, please tell me and comment.
