Requesting some help from the SG community

You can get paypal gift cards as far as I'm aware.

Will donate once I get some of my x-mas money into my account. So later this week, maybe even today. Just whenever I get off my lazy ass and go to a bank

[Labarr]

$51 to unban afamad.... But seriously... I have all my money going to student loans. I don't see any of my money anymore

[Lupin]

50$ donation for admin plis .

[Banana Joe]

Gotta admit that I have not once donated any money, however I will start doing so, since we in Denmark get money from the government for studying once we turn 18, since our parents don't get money from them anymore(I don't get it and I disagree with it, but I'm not turning down free money).

 

I love this community despite the retards who join MG/PB once in a while, and I'd be sad to see it go down. Expect me to donate some money once I'm not drunk anymore!

Alright someone has said this before and I'm sure it will be said again. CSS is a dying game and having all these servers that don't have a steady population are not worth being paid for. We can't keep funding servers that don't bring the reason to keep funding the said server (ZE, Zriot, Cinema). Also bringing a server back to life through an event for a day or a few hours doesn't really bring the reason to keep it. To add players we need to add some new servers. Also I'm not saying to scrap every server that doesn't too well, I'm just saying a server that stays empty most of the week should be gotten rid of.

 

Now keep donating towards the monthly goal guys.

[Strawberry]

il donate if i have anything to spare by each month end^^ but, this month it all went to fyahwurks

 

all seriusness, if you have spare money, give it to the needy! (SG)

[Noob^]

I also gotta admit ive never donated money and ive been here so long >

[h3adsh0t]

I've only donated $5 so far but surely plan on donating whatever change i have left over my car payment. But maybe we should scrap some of the servers that stay empty?

First of all.. I'm glad XeNo that you held your word and played open card here.

But this is an empty promise in my opinion.. Hear me out why.

 

1) We haven't reached our monthly goal once or twice this year. We used the extra money to fill in the blanks. Didn't we see this coming this year? As Neptune said, CSS is a dying game.. The way that we have to struggle sometimes to fill up the servers on a weekend is sad.

 

2) The community rings the alarm bell. The money is enough, but not enough to improve. But what are we going to do? Will we all just donate blindly here? I think that the higher-ups should be given a week or two max to work out a plan. As I said in my New Year thread, the community is not of that nature that it would like Steamgamers cease to exist.

 

 

Caution, Nishok and MPQC. This may be something that isn't going to fit into your schedules. But we should be informed with everything you guys know. We shouldn't donate money to Steamgamers unless you guys give us a clear schedule of what those changes are that you want to achieve with the money that you ask.

 

 

If I can speak in the name of most people, I don't care if I have to donate.. I'd be gladly to help out with 50$ or more.. But I wouldn't like to see my money disappear in the hands of a small group of people that doesn't know what to do with it and just spends it on the wrong investments.

 

 

What we need:

• A plan of what changes will come and what the total cost is
  
• To take a peek at other communities.. What do they have?
  
• A better and faster management or creation of servers. DayZ, Just Cause MP, ... Those new games that would lure people into the community.. It doesn't matter if the server dies after a month or two if we can get the players to join the community and convince them to buy the other games for the servers that our community has to offer.
  
• It's no shame to copy another community like eGO.. In the way of servers atleast.
  
• New ways to donate, paypal isn't easy to use.. if PaysafeCard was introduced, it would be very easy for German, Dutch and Belgian players to donate atleast..
  

 

 

 

 

Good luck and keep us informed!
