If you check out server prices, laggyservers is pretty cheap when it comes to gaming servers. Although you may find some kid running a cheaper priced server where you can order it of his geocities website. I doubt it will have the features or reliability our current server host has.
Don't worry; we are always looking to make sure we have a good setup. Also, the more donations, the more player slots we can put on a server and the less burden on Elite to make sure it gets paid every month
out of his own pocket. Think about this, right now, the $70 we pay is for a shared server that is running other games on it. For $140, we could have our own gaming server were we could host several games off it. Think about having Tribe of Judah CS, DOD and NS servers. Think about all the more fellow Christian and non-Christian gamers we could reach.
But you are probably saying "Plank, I would help out" but "I am just a kid" or "I have just enough to pay the bills each month". That is understandable. We are all in different financial situations. But I will ask this off you, what can you do to help bring others in that may be able to help financially? Do you tell your friends and coworkers about us? Are you creative and could help out with the Promotional Materials (
http://www.cgalliance.org/cgi-bin....63&t=22 )? When we do get Promotional Materials, would you being willing to help disperse them at Church and in your local neighborhood? Those are all ways that are just as important as those that actually make donations.
And, don't forget the great job everyone already does for this community. It’s the relationships we build here and the people that are prayed for and mentored too that matter the most. Getting to frag Z is just an added bonus (Just joking Z).
So, lets keep up the good work. Prayerfully consider where you may be able to help out and always, lets have fun.
So until more money starts rolling in or someone offers up a spare t1 to host off of, we will probably continue to stay with our current server.
