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

[daresound]

I'll commit $20/month if someone else does. I don't even play this game anymore, but I freeloaded from other people's volunteer service for 20 years. Whose down?

Dayum, thanks Warrior, appreciate you. idk if $20 is going to cut it, we're preettyy far off from our target rn, but whatever you throw in I'll match

pub is simply unplayable in 2024 and anyone who disagrees is delusional
server is simply laggy 24/7 if theres more than 3 people basing
even if we magically fix the lag, the state of pub since 2022 is laughable. stupid ship settings made OG players quit, like leland, lizzo.
currently 2-3 trolls have taken over the zone and will mine the flag/cram every waking moments of their day, killing any chance of a good game of pub. i bet any admin even knows about this problem because they are never in pub. same losers will switch games every 30 seconds to win some pub bux $$, making the teams super uneven cos they are ass and we need to carry them.
we're talking like fixing the lag will slow down the death of this zone, but admin inaction in pub is killing this game faster than lag ever could
if ur a pub player and are actively donating to keep this thing going, u are a sucker lol. demand better

lol pub is wild Wild West. just logged on for the first time in a couple months and it’s 4 dudes flooding chat with commentary on abortions in the black community and all kinds racialist shit which I don’t disagree with all of it but in the old days you’d get banned mighty quick but nowadays it’s whatever goes lol

It's not hard to add names to your ignore.txt file. That's the easiest problem to fix that we have ;-)

If 10-20 people can do $10-20/month, we'll cover that expense. I'll sign up for $20/mo now.

qan I sent a donation via PayPal. I wanted to setup recurring payments but (1) I could not log in on the donation page to associate my username, and (2) I did not see an option to setup recurring payments, but I'll make sure to keep sending until I figure it out. I started at $10/mo

Where does that put us in terms of the monthly goal?

TY!

The username association only works right now with single payments, so only the first one will count. For those who are interested, though, we do provide manual verification and can update it on request.

Could you describe the issue of not being able to login in more detail? No problems logging into the TWD site I assume?



Current financial status

Recurring donations: $135.12 net (after fees)
This is likely to be pretty accurate for a monthly going forward. Any who unsubscribed after we experienced server issues are not reflected in this amount. A HUGE THANK YOU AND MASSIVE SHOUT-OUT to our 11 subscription donors.

Costs: $179.34
This includes a partial month spinning up of a new server for modernization of some of our infrastructure (currently in development). The cost will likely be slightly higher in coming months after this upgrade is complete, but will also probably go down again as we size down an existing instance.

Current deficit per month: -$44.22
This is easily covered by irregular one-off donations.

November 2024 net one-off donations: $105.07
Thank you to the three fine people who made a donation this month! ($50, $50, $10)

Current balance as of 11/12/24: $2581.26
Amateur's appraisal of our financial state: GOOD. Monthly costs are mostly covered and if subscriptions fall off we will still be able to cover server costs for a long time to come.
