Alright, HLP needs YOU. :) We're basically out of funds in the PayPal account (we've got $1.72 in there), which means that if the check for the banner ad income either isn't sufficient to cover the monthly server cost, or is late in arriving at its destination, there's no reserve money to keep the server running.

So, I humbly request that if you can spare some cash, you do so with the utmost haste. :)

Donate here. Please? Pwetty pwease??

Thank you!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

$1.72?

You could have warned us before...is there a way to monitor the amount of money?

Is it possible to donate money from here? As far as I know, PayPal works for everything.

Not sure... you'd have to ask MatthewPapa about that. We're sharing a dedicated server with GameWarden. The main strain is actually not on bandwidth of server space, but on CPU cycles. The forums are VERY active and demanding.

I hate to be this way, but.

How much do you have in ad revenue?  I know adsense lets you check.

Here, have 10 bucks, regardless.

The ad revenue goes to MP; last I heard from him, it was around $60-70/month. The problem is, sometimes the check from Google doesn't get there in time, since they only send it if the income has passed $100, and then only on a certain date of the month. So if we get $70 income in March, for example, and the check is potentially sent on the 5th of the following month, April, then unless the remaining $30 came in in those 5 days, the check will not be sent until the next 5th of the month, in May (presuming that by then the ad income has passed $100).

Ergo, we need a fallback cache of funds for when "the check's in the mail". ;)

IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH FS2:
  • Please, please, please, READ and UNDERSTAND the sticky threads in FreeSpace & FreeSpace Open Support board.
    A lot of people are willing to help you, but, as anyone can understand, seeing the very same "issues" repeated again and again can become quite depressing. Please, spend a bit of time trying to solve the issue by yourself.
    (Lobo deserves a monument).
  • Then, if you aren't still able to solve your issue, feel free to ask for help in that same board.
    FYI, most of the troubles are caused by wrong mod installations which lead to either missing data or undesired cross-effects between them. Always follow the mod installation instructions and keep a clean FS2 installation as explained in the sticky threads. Two additional links about how the game handles game data:
  • If you think that you've discovered a bug, mantis it.
    Provide as much info as you can, and try to narrow it down. A lonely "FS2 doesn't work" is not a good report.
