Title: Donations
Post by: Troy on January 13, 2013, 09:15:15 pm
In August of 2012, E-S and I created the GoldenEye: Source Events group.  The goal of the group was to bring players together the first Saturday of every month to play a new game mode, new map or custom setup.  In order to help keep these events going, I'm asking for donations from the community.  The money will be used directly to pay the quarterly server bill.  If you want to donate, click the link below, use the e-mail donation@none.com and the password donate to log in. Afterwards, navigate to the account information section and select add funds.  The minimum deposit is five dollars.

Could use our free server we supply the community to use when ever they want to host a event. Supplied by Team and Jest.

I'd rather use mine because I've spent a long time setting it up.  Which server is yours?

If you need a donation I'd be happy to lend a few quid. I'll drop a bit in this evening when I get home from college.

Just dropped a few quid in, hope it helps. I haven't been to many Events recently - there's always something coming up in the meantime unfortunately. Doubt I'll have much time for it over the coming weeks either as I'm back in college but keep up the good work with the server (and that goes to E-S too)

Thanks man.  That will help me pay for the next bill.

Now why would you want people to give you money which people could put towards something else when Major is offering the use of a FREE server?

Money doesn't just grow on trees for people.

I don't have a gun to anyone's head.  I thought this would be a way for people to show appreciation for the events.  Take note that Major offered this after I posted this thread.  While as gracious as Major's offer is, I do not want to do events on his server.  I spent a long time setting mine up and I do not wish to cancel mine.

It's simple, if the server receives a good amount of traffic, I might throw in a buck or two for his server costs. I was waiting for event to occur. I made a post about how we should setup an event long time ago and nothing popped up (i understand not everyone has time and we have other priorities in our life). Hey if Troys server gets activity and is full, forward the clients to Majors server to minimize the wait time. Both servers will get used.

This is how you start it up to make it successful. Server costs are not cheap.

All good. Trust me know first hand about fun times with server costs. But have said for years, we have a 14 man community server if anyone wants to host something special.

I would of probably done the same, but didn't want to look like team was looking for money. Good luck.

Also since its a development server, i think you should keep it for development and testing purposes only where as Troys could be used for hosting events, but anyhow we need active clients first hahaha

Good luck to you and Troy.
