I'd like to do a big thank you to the players who risked their money donating to the game server account in the knowledge that it might be lost.

The good news is that the hosting system did reactivate the server, and enough was donated to keep it running for a year at the current bill rate. We now have full access to the server hosting system and can monitor donations and payments to the host made from them.

In order of donation time after mine at the weekend, thanks to MaD[skunk], hagis, arbok, [RMD]JoeMillionaire, Pjanno, KOT, kops, Flenser, adghost, BGA h-duke, psina, Prozack.PL and Nardaq

Thank you. That is very kind of you.

The next thing we need to pay for is the domain name and forum. That isn't urgent, but is coming up in April.

If you would like to donate towards the cost of this box that runs the forum and part of the infrastructure that keeps the problem players from the game servers , please donate to PayPal ukpiglet @ btinternet.com - that is an account I have set up for this.

For information, money donated using the link at the bottom of the page can only be used to pay for the game server and cannot be used to pay for the forum/game admin monitor box

Thanks again for your donations past, present and future. They are much appreciated and will be used to keep things running here.

Thank you all three.

Between you you've covered the cost of this forum for another year. Thanks.

That's the last of the bills until September - and I think what's in the pot now will cover that one too.

Let's play!

One more donation received. Thank you.

That will be put towards a domain renewal or registration later in the year - different options to take depending on whether we can get in contact with Raj or not before the renewal needs to be done

There is no need for any further donations at this point in time.

Thank you all

Hi Hugs,

There is a discrete donations button at the bottom of the page.

All bills are currently in USD, so it's best to use the "Donate in US Dollars" donation link there.

The only things we've spent donated funds on so far are:

1. Domain registration fees
2. Web Hosting here at HawkHost - and I have to say they've been really good hosts.
3. Game server hosting at NFOServers, and again they've been really helpful.


We may want to spend some cash on testing out more powerful servers. We don't have enough in the kitty for this yet. Nor do we know whether it's going to be successful. We don't know if the limitation is due to the CPU or the game server & maps we're playing on it.
