Server fundraiser

o_dr zoidberg · 12-31-2006, 06:58 AM

Snice the dev team does not want charity we can give it to them forcefully

By making a fund where we use the money to set up 24/7 pub servers in Eu, Us, Uk etc.

Good idea? Anyone thinking they might donate something?

I don't think it's a very good idea to be honest. Most mods have some sort of hosting provider that gives them a couple "official" and free servers, plus there are clans out there already planning to/have servers that are ready to go for FF.

Whats wrong with more servers? Yes there's going to be alot of people coming over from tfc to ff, but there are also alot that'll go to tf2 aswell.

And some people might want to admin a server but doesnt want to buy one for them selves and this is a way they can share one.

I just don't see a reason to start up a fund for a mod that isn't even out, plus when you share a server between people you don't really know then how do you make sure someone pays for their share of the monthly cost?

Thats not really your problem if your not into the idea. Leave that to thoose who want to make this happen instead.

Oh sorry Zoidberg, I thought this was a discussion of the idea not an actual recruitment thread.

Hey, as long as you're looking to give your money away Zoidberg the [o-t] will be hosting a public FF server and we gladly take donations. At the end of the year we post our accounting statement so that everyone can see where the money went. www.oldtimersclan.com, PayPal form is on the lefthand side.

what are you saying? Are these for when the mod releases?

o_dr zoidberg · 12-31-2006, 07:06 AM

Yes, setting up FF servers when it releases.

Ugh I wouldn't donate for sure. I also think that this would have no real purpose...

Why?
There are people who want to donate, and thoose who donate will of course be granted admin accsess and Co-operate about server choices.

And instead of saying it doesnt have a purpose and go bleh, say why, so if its such a dumb idea i wont do it.

wrong with more server: less people on every single server
But I already heard of new servers popping up after the initial release...

wrong with me paying for it: I'm pretty sure you don't want to pay for an "neither yard dm nor sniping, but feel free to abuse everyone you see/smell. FF on" server like you wouldn't want to pay for one like this...
