@ All I sadly have to report that even though we normally receive a years worth of donations in Dec we only received 120 bucks extra past January 1st .... To keep the old ladder site going we will need another 180 to make it to next November . TripleA itself will need another 1400.. Thanks to all that have donated .... sorry for the bad news
-
@ubernaut @prastle the site is a new liveplay ladder established by @airwalker. He took initiative here and it's very popular. Players post their results on that excel sheet. Talk to him.
wow -- i donated $75 i believe in December? yikes, there's a $1400 deficit? I really like triplea and would be very sad to see it go... am thinking of donating more..
-
@prastle just messaged me and stated we have $120 total.
The servers are about $105/month
We can therefore pay just one more month, meaning come Feb 29 we are out of money.
The lobby bare-minimum costs $15/month, the forum is $15/month, the bots and a few backup services are $70/month.

@prastle said in Donation Drive 2024:
I would like to again request that any donations include a note with your user name
hi all, couldn't include user name in the paypal platform. donated $200. thaks for all your work
-
maybe give the job to someone who does give a shit? less then 2 months to raise 1400 ugh
sounds like we are paying way too much on bots where people with little help can host for themselves
wel it was a good ride

Ah ... just saw first post. I will go let the league guys know now
-
Just donated. Any reason we shouldnt consider a small monthly fee to play? Some may find this unpopular, but I think the juice is worth the squeeze
-
@adamf awesome !
Yea you can currently set it up to donate every month. Like 5 bucks is a 60 yearly spot, yea the math isn't a revelation but
I don't like anything that forces me to do something to play personally.
The all Volunteer Force is better than conscription imo
-
@beelee Not untrue, but also "many hands make light work". A small fee for all shares the burden.
-
@adamf also true, but as this is a small community, the fewer the hurdles to participate, the better imo.
-
make big donators mods
as it is now u can donate 200 dollars and get banned the next day because some mod is in a bad mood.
also they are invested in the game thus a protentional good mod to keep the lobby clean and full
-
I tried to donate. When I clicked create account and donate... it did nothing
-
@beelee Right now the biggest hurdle seems to be too many want to play, but not enough want to pay. A small community paying will help ensure survival of the community. Perhaps we can do a "suggested monthly donation of X" with people having to opt out if they dont wish to donate.
-
I have had several people willing to donate to me to create a website for the Revised Player Chart that I have created, and I am asking them all to redirect to TripleA. Upon my brief research when planning the site, I am very concerned with the current costs mentioned for hosting. I don't know who is in charge of this or how long contracts are but I would highly suggest looking into alternate providers. Also, I personally run 3 bots on my linux server at home. I can help anyone setup regular bots for the lobby if they have a decent enough system and stable internet. The community should be able to handle the bots IMO, saving a large expense.
-
@airwalker I am fine with anyone trying a new ladder... The old version i paid myself out of pocket three years ago and runs on go daddy. I am sure cheaper alts are available if others want to maintain it
