Default PBW Server Problems--Take 2

Friends, Romans, Terrans, Phong, and other assorted species... lend me your ears a moment.

I come as the bearer of both bad news and great hope. The bad news, as many of you know, is that the PBW server is down with a fried motherboard. The hope is that we hope to have it up soon.

The other hope is that we hope we can have your help.

In the original thread, many people suggested that, if it stopped the outages, they would be willing to see PBW become a pay service. This is something we do not want to see happen, and PBW will continue to be free for all who wish to play there.

Let me reiterate that, 'cause it's important: PBW is, has been, and always will be free.

However, we are now asking for donations to help with the cost of replacing the server's motherboard and, as it may become necessary, the cost of hosting. The server repair is most important.

Several people in the first thread said they'd be willing to pay $5-$10 a month--but if a hundred regular players gave only that much just this once, we'd have the server repaired and hosting for most of the year with no problem.

Heck, if every regular player--three hundred or so--gave just 50 cents a month, we'd have to send some of the money back to y'all.

You can donate here:

Help the PBW Server

We hope you can help. And thank you for continuing to bear with us.
