Hello Fellow Tribe of Judah Sisters and Brothers,
I have been Praying for your Assistance in Raising the funds for our, Yes OUR as in toj's own Server, I am aware that Many have donated already, and many Donate monthly.

The gracious donations received either go toward server cost monthly or put into the Account which is saved for expenses and if Prayers are answered Our server which can then be used to Facilitate multiple Gaming servers, currently there are 2 FPS Servers rented Monthly, we currently have 7 pc game chapters listed plus 2 console chapters some are inactive, if Toj had its own Server the Administration would have the ability and means to introduce more Toj gaming servers which would give everyone here and Our Christian Friend's and Family a larger Better choice of the games to play and where to play them.

I am aware that the members who play MMORPG's pay a fee to play on that games servers, but this is not about Your Game, This is about The Ministry of The Tribe of Judah to which we are all Members, I Pray that every Member reads this thread and Pledges to Donate at least 5 dollars, Donating is not Mandatory but by doing so you become a Better Samaritan, unfortunately The Tribe of Judah cannot operate without a source of Income and that is Donations by US, its Members,

2 Chronicles 24:14
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.

Ezra 7:17
That thou mayest buy speedily with this money bullocks, rams, lambs, with their meat offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them upon the altar of the house of your God which is in Jerusalem.

I Thank you Brother or Sister for Reading this, I ask this not for myself but for the Greater Good and The Tribe of Judah.

Luke 17:16
And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
 
Thanks for posting this Blackbeard.. Myself and Tek are currently writing up an email to send to all members saying the same things ;)

Nice bible references..

We require $1000 to set up the game server and then $50 monthly i think.. This is easily achievable considering the num,ber of members we have.
 
I have full confidence in both Tek and yourself rizz, this is a topic that Captain Tea and I have been discussing and well to be Honest, it is both saddening and disappointing.
However I have Faith in our Members and hope they answer to this call, until that time I will continue my drive to help our cause :)
 
Thank you, Blackbeard, for your post.

We require $1000 to set up the game server and then $50 monthly i think.. This is easily achievable considering the num,ber of members we have.
Aye, that's correct. We've already raised $1000 USD toward dedicated server hardware and have $1000 left to raise. We can buy a rather beefy rackmount server with $2000 and run several game servers on it.

For more information on our fundraising efforts and the ideals driving them, please read Bring Our Servers Back and my post, Why I want our servers back online.
 
Thanks Tek, I am trying to help get our members to understand Why this is good, it only Benefits Toj and Cga Members secure a safer, Cleaner gaming site to play with Family and Friends :)
 
I am guessing someone has done the math on renting servers verse owning servers?

If so could they please send the information to me?

Contact me via PM for email address.
 
The information is on forums in one of those threads.. i think it reads something like..

currently $30/mo per game server.
Our own server $50/mo ($1000 initial outlay) - multiple games supported..

So provided we run more than 2 servers (which we will), the owning is a better option. Its just the outlay for hardware that is the downer.
 
Not sure.. i would say TF2, UT, Battlefield, CS as the core

Maybe UT2k4, Other source mods, etc etc.. i am not sure of the capacity.
 
Just trying to get my mind around it...
It would depend on the game. Newer games like Team Fortress 2 and Unreal Tournament 3 demand more resources than older games like Counter-Strike 1.6.

I would expect we would be able to run at least 4 game servers for recent games; I consider that a very conservative estimate.

EDIT: The number of servers we run would also depend on the number of player slots on each server. More slots = more resources required.
