possible donation usage

[roxxkatt]

so right now tw is still sitting on about $7000 USD in donations.

i would like to propose that it be used for helping keep the website and zone servers running, including:

• tw zone server
• tw bot server
• trenchwars.org
• forums.trenchwars.org
• forums.minegoboom.com
• subspace.co / ssforums.com

im not sure who is currently paying the bills for the tw stuff, but presumably priit is paying for the zone and bot servers, and idk whos paying for the website stuff

i will draw your attention to the last 2, as they are not tw holdings.
mgbs site is on the list is because it is a dev resource, and he has never had troubles with hosting, so it is unlikely he will need or use any money at all and is unlikely to ask for any
ssforums is on the list because they have been the main ss forums for many years, and it is run by polix, an ex ssc netop, and he has had trouble with hosting a few times in the past, and really could use some help
right now ssforums is down with an apologetic message in its place, and the ssforums domain name has lapsed and the .co was being used

im not asking that anything gets paid in full, only that assistance be available in case its needed, and that any assistance given out is watched closely for misuse obviously

Actually I still own SSForum.net

The hosting is more of a I am busy with OT at work, I have 2 possible solutions but they are tied up for a few days, and I still just have issues paying for stuff for a game I no longer really involve myself in. I'm not going to drop the sites after the years I put into them and all, but I just need to find some solid hosting. I don't do enough web stuff to require a VPS of my own, but SS.co gets enough traffic volume shared hosting just wouldn't work. I tried not long ago and got told I needed to upgrade to a VPS or have my account shutdown. Traffic hasn't changed much since then, so I would assume I'd be facing the same issues.

Gallitin recently made me move everything to a new server so he could upgrade without having to wipe the old one, no biggy. But now out of the blue he decided to shutdown anything that wasn't his personally. Anything personal he moved to his work server, and we're just sol.

Everything shuts down sometime on the 15th (ie. very little notice for me), so I decided to lock everything up and back it all up yesterday just to be safe.

Anyways, thanks for the concern though. I normally think no one really cares anymore.
