I doubt 0$ would help out much

Actually $0 does mean something to me. Ive dropped far more activities from "lack of interest" than from lack of money. I think thats true of most of the people who do things for free for the community. Its one reason I often push for people to thank the great folks doing mods and maps and such that we all are enjoying.

More seriously, does Gandalf "approve" of such a pledge, does he even know about it? (or rather, knew about it before you put this page up) Because that could cause some trouble...
Of course, had I had an income, I would have helped out either way :S
Well I couldnt go for the idea of asking myself. But since lch was running most of the games on the server that died I felt he had justification for trying to speed up the repairs.

The account I gave him isnt my personal account. Its actually the house account. Thats so that the budget manager (she who must be obeyed) can see the activity and consider this to be abit more than just my personal toy that I broke. I will make sure the money gets spent on servers but this way Im not just talking a good sales pitch about it.
