tl;dr
We need monies to fill the coffers again, and potentially get us some spiffy new stuff for the server if all goes well! Just go down and check out the "How to Donate" section :)
General Information
It's that time once again for the Annual TLD Donation Drive! Well, actually, it was 'time' about 4 months ago, but it kept getting put off due to one reason or another, including the fact that I moved recently. We are, funding-wise, probably the most in need of donations we've ever been. While people tend to be amazingly generous during the drives, we get 'normal' donations so rarely that I don't even remember the last one we got :( Between that, and how long it has been since the last drive, I've even been paying for some of the stuff out of pocket the last few months so things could stay on course. For anyone interested in details on the previous donation drives, you can check out the Third Donation Drive, second Donation Drive, and/or the first Donation Drive! If you're curious what types of things the donations we get do go towards, here's a brief rundown:- Necessities:
- Server rent costs, software licenses such as TCAdmin (our server management control panel)
- repairing stuff when things break
- Server improvement:
- Commissioning plugin authors to write/edit/improve plugins for us
- Possibly upgrading hardware down the line, which allows us to host more gameservers on the same machine we use now.
How to Donate
Note: I am strongly considering giving some kind of incentive for donating, but I'm not sure how I'd handle it just yet. Don't worry about missing out, though! No matter when you donate, bet it tomorrow or 2 weeks from now, you will be included in said incentive.
- You can send your donation through PayPal directly to jeffsugar AT gmail DOT com, by visiting our donation page, or by using one of the fancy buttons below:
- You can send a check or money order or cash to my address, if that floats your boat. Address available upon PM'd request.
- Some other way I haven't thought of?
I'll be keeping an ongoing list of donors to give credit where credit's due. If you don't want yourself mentioned, please mention such. Additionally, I'll be omitting the donation amount per person by default, so if you want it mentioned, you'll need to tell me
Thanks to the Donors Thus Far! (Donor List)
