Website 2023- Donations - Post in this topic once you donate

[daredevil]

Thank you for all the people who donated so far, especially, big thanks to anyone who donated more then 100$. My only suggestions or expectation is more donations in the range of 50$ rather then 100$ and above. The only reason, people have to donate more then 100$ is to fill in someone's else place. If we can do find 110 players to donate just 50$, we will reach the goal pretty fast. 

 

Nothing free survives for longer and hence we run website and servers based on donation. You don't hesitate to spend 10 bucks for a drink or 20 bucks for a movie for 3 hrs, then why hesitate for 50$/year for 365 days fun? You can find cost of our servers on our donation page. It has complete breakdown of cost. At the end of the day, nothing is free in the world - not your internet, not your food and/or website or servers. Someone, somewhere is paying for it and the only reason clan has survived for so long is because of community who fill in the pot. We are the classic case of Unity in Diversity.  

 

Quote from old clan leader Milli:

Ok peeps, here's the deal.
 
Take a look at clans that have survived as long as we have and you'll see ONE thing that makes us different. We don't charge for membership! We don't give promotions to those who pay more!
 
Have a favorite server and want to help keep it going? $5 a month from you will help pay for it! Its not hard to do. I have paypal directly linked to my bank account, and it auto-withdraws once a month. What is $5/month you ask? Its a pack of smokes for those of you who do. Its less than a month subscription to your porn site! It's cutting out a cup of coffee once a day per week a month! Its less than a large popcorn at the movies! Hell, its less than a movie ticket.
 
Its not hard people. I'm laid off from work and am able to give and help keep the servers alive and kicking. Even one time donations are sweet. Can't do monthly but have $50 you can give now? Great!
 

We need your help folks. Here's the low down and dirty...we have almost as many NON members donating as we do members. That does NOT speak well of the clan. So please, help out and pitch in!

 

Thanks to every donor small or big, for keeping the fun possible.

Yes, the Founders are not so rich that they could justify that kind of yearly expense to their wives or families.  They already spend a lot of time and some money on this organization.

 

Donating also makes those of us who do donate feel more committed to the Clan and to the Community.  Clan members donate at a higher rate than do players.  Some admins and players can barely afford their computer equipment and their Internet charges.  We are all in different situations.  I had offered to make a 'major donation' to end the 2022 donations, but @parrot came through, instead! 😄  He and I may not be able to do that next year, who can know?  

 

Many of us feel as @kajto3 said near the end of the 2022 donation topic, "Please, never give up on this. "

What @RedBaird said plus server bills are due each month.  450$ appx/month. This year, we are running behind on bills, big time. Feb end is near and out of 900$, we only received 135$ so far.

Why are we running so low? I remember a few years ago, we had a surplus at the end of the year. Did the hosting prices go up so high, or we're receiving less donations in general? All world's prices went high..

Hosting prices went up by 25-50% appx, IPV4 increased, forum cost/renewals, increased, etc. and at same time, donations went down as well since COD4 game died off.  In past certain players donated more then they should to be honest and they also moved to new games. 

 

This is why I always request for min 100-200 players donating, 50$ to 25$. Problem is people hesitate to donate even 50$ which is technically not much compare to movie ticket, pack of cigarette's, wine bottle, etc. 

 

Not just us, everyone is effected. Sample Ex. In some cases prices are up 50%. Now even if energy cost will come down, this datacenters will not reduce their cost. Sad but reality. 

 

 

 

Plan is to let go 2 machines to make the cost go down ASAP.
