Thats the question i want to put to you. Its been a fair old while now since we bought our server outright and it was all down to everyone chipping in. We managed to pool together around £1.5k to purchase the equipment we needed. The question im asking in light of Blanks recent info to me and also the possible opportunities we have with another company. Could we raise £2k??? The reason i ask this is simple. With that money we would be able to buy essentially a Big Brother and Big Sister to the war server. Both of which would have 8 Cores, 8 Gig of RAM and the necessary other bits to crank out very high end performance. This itself might be a bit overkill but would mean we can transfer the current war servers onto a newly updated box (much better than the one its on). We could then open up a second high quaity War Box to support any new Rasta teams as well as support the community. Finally we would be able to move the publics off their old box bless them onto the current war server and have plenty of grunt to spare for future use or public expansion.
£2000 would be the target and that essentially is £40 off 50 people, £20 off 100 or £10 off 200. We easily know the latter figure of people so i thought perhaps this wont be as difficult as i thought.
Before we put the donations box back up i want to make sure this is something we all want and that it is viable. Give me your feedback over the next 24 hours and we go from there :)
