It would also look cool to actually see them say "SHIT how 'bout some armor over here!?". That's the sort of thing you might not get just from volunteer work.
The problem with that is the fact that none of the other devs are getting paid. IMO, you would need to pay all or none of the devs, and I doubt if donations were put in place, that'd be enough to pay all the devs hardly at all.

I think there should be other ways money donated to FF should be spent, such as big site adverts, or lan partys/events, and even bigger and better file servers so FF can actually store files that people can download easily.

If someone wants to send me some money to buy screenprinting supplies so I can make t-shirts that'd be cool.

Here are some things you could theoretically donate to Fortress Forever:

- servers (file or game)
- adspace

Since there's no one person to receive money for FF (the current team is completely different from the initial team, by way of an example... there's no ONE person running FF, ever), giving "us" money just wouldn't work. Who receives it? What if they run off? Who controls it?

If you want give money to a specific cause (screenprinting supplies being an example, if you're in to that sort of thing), fine. If you want to throw money at some modeller for that purpose, fine. But we can't, and won't, do so.

Kubedawg: Yeah I can see where that would be a problem, that's why I was suggesting something that would be such a big pain in the ass to do that no volunteer would want to do it. As I understand it, rigging a face falls under that category. It's not that the person's work would be more important than the other devs, it's that theirs would be so unpleasant it would never get done unless you paid someone to do it.

I hope you were just joking...otherwise, this the most degenerate way of thinking I have seen.

Besides yours? BAM.

Yeah, I'm going to lock this thread.

Moneys are the devil. The website and mod is being worked on. Hold your horse.
