siosios
7:17 PM
my thoughts

SmurfSniper
7:20 PM
yea personally i could care less about who donates and who doesnt. i just do it when i can
i dont see a point to bitching over it

siosios
7:22 PM
as it sits right now if we dont make 300 a month in donations ill be dropping the servers to hosted status then people can bitch to the hosting company about the issues

SmurfSniper
7:22 PM
ouch

siosios
7:23 PM
we went from 1200 a month to 300 over night then all of a sudden this place aint making the ends meet
so my choices are limited

SmurfSniper
7:23 PM
yeah, i understand

siosios
7:24 PM
if we go hosted ill pay for it and the webserver and people can play the maps i want or shove it
lol

SmurfSniper
7:24 PM
I am still trying to figure out what happened... I mean all the gg regs just dropped off the map

siosios
7:24 PM
dot

SmurfSniper
7:25 PM
well maybe some but the gg regs I am talking about just stopped getting online

siosios
7:25 PM
one thing ill mention to you is this

SmurfSniper
7:25 PM
I mean theres a shit ton of them that havent even signed on in almost a year

siosios
7:25 PM
making friends with new players brings the crowd
the crowd brings the donations
admin could be free if everyone did what they had to here
but they refuse to be friendly

SmurfSniper
7:27 PM
yeah, I do see some of the newer admins just being "unnecessary" if that makes sense

siosios
7:27 PM
it does
if i have to pay for hosted servers youll see almost everyone dropped from admin status

SmurfSniper
7:28 PM
I mean yea there are some that have to be disciplined but some are just over using admin powers

SmurfSniper
7:29 PM
if I could afford to I would come back as a Jr owner just to help with more donations.... but as things are for me right now I can barely pay the rent

siosios
7:30 PM
no im not asking for people to do that

SmurfSniper
7:30 PM
oh I know that
I am just saying, I wish I could help out more

siosios
7:31 PM
yea and i understand that

SmurfSniper
7:31 PM
hell man, NU has been my source of entertainment for over 5 years now lol

siosios
7:32 PM
but what i wanted with the admin donations was not some people that wanted power and then when we give someone admin for free that they rant and rave about it
i wanted people that understood that this takes alot of money to do and that friends here are worth the money to keep things running so everyone has a home

SmurfSniper
7:33 PM
yeah, I completely understand

siosios
7:33 PM
i do what i do on the servers and web site for everyones benifit not mine.... god knows i could just sit back and play and drink beer
but hell whens the last time you really saw me play here

SmurfSniper
7:35 PM
man its been awhile
I think Ive seen you play one night in the past couple years

if you read all of that then it must have been something you needed to see through to the end

have fun with it
