It'll be $650 a month but we can keep running at warp level awesome. If any of you want to help cover the extra $200/month we can save this place. Otherwise we're closing some servers down in the next few days.

I can cover $400 a month, which would mean we need at least $250 in donations each month or we'd have to close stuff down. Right now for this month we have $74 dollars in donations. I think this is the community that could pull this off and continue to rock some socks.


In the mean time, The DoD:S and CS:S servers are closing.

Also, please don't use the scrim server unless it's a real practice or scrim. That one is set to max out bandwidth action for non-laggy play.

OK to hijack an empty tempest for pickup games? seems like thats the most sustained use the scrim server sees these days.

Again, empty servers don't use bandwidth.

What titty bar do you go to? All the ones around here have a $20 cover.  <--- Dont fucking edit my post. I did not say this.

$650 a month is a monthly payment on a NICE brand new car, half a house payment or upto 650 trips to the titty bar. <--- Is more of what I said.

Too bad there's not a secondary income option that's viable. The CafePress might bring in a few dollars a month, but nothing substancial. Ads on the site would only go so far. I'm low on funds this month due to paying for a PS3 and a trip for 2 to DC, but after that I'll try to up how much I donate a bit.

I think an admin hit edit when he meant to hit quote. Sorry about that.
