  If i donated (example) like 5000 USD could you guys make the servers go zing? :?: :?: :?: 8-) 8-)

  Not sure why you'd pay $5000 for the server to randomly print "zing" to all connected players, but have at it.

  but in all seriousness i wouldn't mind donating like 5 dollars a year or something not for any benefits but just so we can keep the server up and maybe it would be a good insentive for people to start working on it again. you can always make a Paypal account for the donations that steeveeo or one of the other people that pay for the server would have acces to and you would be able to trust them enough with
  the money

  TBH I think we need some new devs that still have an interest in the game, it seems most of the devs now have either lost interest or begun to favor Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, the devs have come up with some awesome stuff, but the server is in need of work and it isn't going to get done any time remotely soon if we don't have someone with a heavy interest in spacebuild.

  I agree also and as long as the money i donate goes straight to the server fund i dont see a problem with it and as long as at least we know we have other people donating as well. or maybe certain privileges about what you can spawn or how much you can spawn if you donate something.

  My comment was not meant as an attack against the devs, merely stating that the interest just doesn't seem to be here.
  As for having to do with this thread? People want to donate in order to help performance and motivate devs. Developer activity directly affects server performance in that they are the ones finding and fixing performance and stability issues within addons.

  Anything is better than nothing, at the current rate, I will not be able to renew my server next year.

  My server is costing me $250 a year to keep up, currently that all needs to go to my tuition fees and food.
