At the moment we are working on a new GMod server.

We barely had any donations back when the servers were up


We got over 1200 euros of donations in 3 years. I admit, we had extremely expensive servers.

It is possible to gain money without having to be dependent on donations.
As i suggested earlier.

We/you could gain money from downloads, i mean, lots of people gain money from people who download your product. 1 download = 1 dollar / euro. <- Example.
And Writex, this isn't all about CS:S. Lots of other games as well.
I see that you (Writex) play alot of Modern Warfare 3. Well, we can reach there as well. I mean, there is no Server list on Mw3 as it is on Mw1. BUT! There is possible to make skins for Mw3 (and mods..). I play Mw2 every now and then, and have created skins for my self that i use. It is not hard.

PS:
One year ago, i posted skin on Gamebanana that i made.
Now check how many download's it has gotten!

Wrong. There is a server list in MW3, along with the IW engine bs.

Donations from cellphones and other phone devices would be easier, but the companies/websites that host this charges a lot of the actual donation.

Nico @ I meant the last... what, 6 months? <.<

It won't matter if you donate €10 or €100. They charge a certain percentage of the actual donation.
I think they charge about 40-50%; I'm not sure though, I'm going to ask a friend of mine about it as he knows a lot more about this than I do.

It really shouldn't cost a lot to donate. That way, no one can afford donating simply because they can't use too much of their mobile device's cash, or else they won't have enough money left to call/mms/sms.

EDIT: Using eg. OneBip (pay by sms) for donations is possible, but we only get half of what they donate.
This friend of mine has a SA-MP server. Not exactly popular but it has like 5-50 players on it 24/7. Sometimes more during weekends.
Hes got over €150 from phone donations (OneBip). That's enough to keep his server up for 2 years. (He has a special deal with the host though. He pays waaaaaay less than the actual price for the hosting.)
...anyway, you got the point. It is possible but we'll only get half of the donation.

EDIT 2: This is his exact words.

16:18 - ******: Bout 48% actually gets to me
16:18 - WriteX: kk
16:18 - ******: Well
16:18 - ******: Lets say you donate €20
16:18 - WriteX: ye
16:18 - ******: My onebip account gets about €19~
16:18 - ******: but if you want to spent that money you pay 48%
16:19 - ******: so I can use around €10
16:19 - WriteX: ..that's hella weird
16:19 - ******: yeah
16:19 - ******: mobile taxes are unbelievable high
16:19 - WriteX: surprised

...weird ass shit?

Alright so, I've been busy with.. stuff so I haven't really posted anything here..... ok, I lied. I don't go to school, so I'm free 24/7 LOL.
But really, we should let Mark and Nico work on the GMod server and forget about Nod69 for now.

I bought Battlefield 3 today, but the game is terribly annoying because everyone has 1337 hax and are killing me from every corner. It makes me rage, but it's time consuming (and I don't really need my time for anything, rofl) and it amuses me so it's alright. I'm still ubernoob on how stuff works, been sniping for a bit and I have to say - it's actually pretty easier than I expected.

The Server selection thingy sucks big chickens, because I searched for one map and it didn't find a single server so.. yeah.

We should play sometime, because I assume most of you already own BF3. ♥
