OBH. . .you have touched my wittle feelers! Don't touch me there! lol
Ktulu, I seriously think your ideas about the porn are excellent. I mean, we need a lot more porn here. And beer? mmmmmmm beeeeeeeeer.
Many people have voiced their opinions about this subject in extreme detail. Throughout the entire time, it has stayed civil. Kudos Villuns! That's how you voice your opinions! Excellent. _________________ Recipient of POTM award

I support the concept, but I just hope the planing gets really thought out to the minute detail. This way nothing would go wrong. I also am concerned with some of the perks, like the reserved spot. That to me does seem like paying to play. If we were to spread out and not just clump to one server, we wouldn't have a problem with the server being full. _________________ I need to make a sig, but I don't have the time.

Look folks the admins have said that THEY are going to take this to their forum. If that is the case then I am sure they have enough info and require no further input from us.
Do onto others as you will have others do onto you "remember who said that" _________________

That "sounds" good, but think about it. There are 22 public spots on TV3...let's say that there are 45 "$upporters," who have paid and have reserved spots, and 25 of them want to play on TV3 at one time. that means 3 of them, even with 'reserved spots,' can't play. I know that would be a rare occurance, but it COULD happen! _________________

There has been some talk about this between Ktulu and I for the last couple of months, and there was never any need to bring it up until now. The "tenative" plan is to move the web site to a remote host. The hosting plan we need runs $70 a month. Which in turn is $840 a year. The current line the server is on is temporary. We can't leave it here forever. It's just till we find another option.
When this happens, this will free up the web server to be a game server somewhere. Also, depending on how many users sign up, will determine how many more servers we may rent.
Most likely, there will be different packages you can get. Hopefully anywhere from $5 a month to $15 a month. The specifics of how much and what you'll get isn't exactly worked out yet.
The money will most likely be collected through either Paypal or a 3rd party credit card service, or both. I can understand why you would be nervous sending money to a stanger. I held a "fundraiser" for the webserver almost a year ago. I collected somewhere around $350, every single dime went toward the hardware for the server. We're not out to make a profit, we're just want to offer you the best.
I can also assure you The Ville isn't going anywhere. You don't have to worry about it shutting down. It's been here for 2 years, and hopefully many more to come. _________________

It's a done deal Rob, I'll send you a check personally with my donation. Only 1 problem though.....no address. I will take a good portion of the monthly fee out right now as a donation to get the ball rolling on all this. _________________
