Trench Wars fund WAS in dire straits (THANK YOU, EVERYONE!)

A BIG donation came in: $630! Absolute legend. Thank you for that.
Potentially even bigger due to the added stability, we had a $50 recurring and $10 recurring added. We're starting to be in pretty good shape here.
That puts us at $126.54 per month! 70% of the way to having the bill covered. Huge.
Assuming the recurring payments continue, with now $1801.78 on hand, we're covered for the foreseeable future (almost 3 years!). I don't expect everyone can continue to do monthlies forever, though, so if more people are willing to put in, that means increased reliability.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who's surprised at how fast we've been able to come together to do this, though. Solid community.

We're still looking for more folks who are willing to put in recurring donations. Even if you decide you can only do a few bucks a month, it still goes a long way toward sustaining the server.

Things seem to be slowing a bit. I'll start just editing this post with updates unless we have a new big wave of donations.
9/8 update: a $50 one-time donation. Appreciate it!
I think periodic updates would go a long way in motivating people to donate and keep current people trusting their money is being well spent. I also did a monthly donation.

had no idea it was this expensive to keep the game running. id be willing to donate if pub wasnt in such a state of decay. happy to see leagues being active but lack of admin involvement in pub and "recent" ship settings nonsense does not inspire confidence in leadership. not interested in funding this operation under current management

MMR dying 6 hours before it normally does, I think this zone is toast tbh, not enough creative thinkers on staff to keep this shit going sadly. I agree with Vys

Updates:
We're up to $69.26/month, or 39% of the way to our goal!
There's also been a very generous donation of $360, which covers two full months of hosting.
We're now covered for the next 9 months. I'll try to keep updating regularly so long as new donations are coming in.

At one time, generous folks put together large prize pools for league wins, and many equally-generous winners chose to donate their winnings toward server costs. This has pretty much been the only thing paying for the server over the past few years.
...
We haven't had a large league prize pool in quite a while. If we're only taking in $5 a month (or, to be more accurate, $4.37 after fees), you can guess which direction our finances will go.

Now we have a total of $55.75 in recurring payments, or 31% of our goal.
There was also $280 in one-time donations, including a $180 donation that covered one month of hosting by itself.
That has us covered through February so far. Thanks, all.
There's been substantial inflation since we last updated the donation table. It may be one reason why donations fell off. At one point we had some steady donors who used it as a way to keep their accounts floating.
Can we see a list of names of people that have donated? (I am Panda Express/greenman)
The $180 donation came from gworfork. THANK YOU GWORFORK!!

Maybe setting an end date for the game and then sending out an email notifying all past and present players of its end date and a proposed "the last dance league". Set it so that the final ends a week before the game ends.
At some point we need accept the inevitable.
