Donation Drive 2024
-
@lafayette @Panther we should post this to axisandallies.org imo
-
@ngmc have you treid on more than one device/browser?
-
@lafayette Thank you very much for providing such detail and addressing the issue of costs. I feel much better about the future of the game knowing that it's properly managed. The website for a ladder ( speaking of my own ) is so much less important if the game itself requires a last minute bailout. I can continue plugging away at a spreadsheet for now. I would suggest the lobby message be updated as well to reflect that things are in better shape. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I've noticed less lobby traffic since its posting.

already did. There kickin in too

@prastle Wondering aloud if we should remove the "out of money" note in lobby?
-
@lafayette Yeah I'm not really against a recurring payment or even monthly I play so damned much, but I'm probably in the minority. I'm glad we're posting the info in the lobby. Truthfully I probably have more global games in me than any person on the planet yet I never use the forums so never knew about hwo the finances worked:)

Donated $50. Thanks!
-
I'm wondering which people are able to change the lobby message; AFAICT a regular mod cannot; so does it take an admin, or something else?
Either way it would be nice to calm people down and thank them for the donations by updating the note that things are better now, though not perfect by any means.
In terms of lowering costs, maybe we should prioritize the plan to revamp the lobby-bot system?

This was the pull-request behind it, IMHO, made by @LaFayette :
https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/pull/12246closed Update servers.yml - Critical dontations message #12246
-
@adamf I think the message of urgency did it's trick with the sudden flood of donations. We've still got a bit to go. At best we should change the date of death (Feb 29th) and possibly enable a clickable link to the paypal donation.
-
@prastle where do we stand with the donation drive now?
