Donations
I've added a donations link to the main menu on the front page, so that if you want to help FreeOrion out in that way, you can. Anything we receive will be used for hosting payments foremost, and later on any other needs we may grow into - new hardware (server), software (art), etc.
Thanks
Thanks
Just FYI, in case it's not apparent from Tyreth's post:
Due to our hosting requirements (ya'll are a talky lot), we have to pay every month for commercial hosting. These costs will only go up as FreeOrion evolves. As we speak, poor, pitiable Miu and tzlaine are hard at work, MAKING THE GAME FOR YOU, where they live, outside, in a Siberian Yurt.
These costs are currently being borne by members of the dev team. Please, the next time you go to buy cigarettes or a six pack, think of poor, shivering tzlaine and Miu, and their yurt.
Sincerely,
Aqui "think of the children" taine

Surprise and Terror! I am greeted by the smooth and hostile face of our old enemy, the Hootmans! No... the Huge-glands, no, I remember, the Hunams!

Not quite - I saw the movie "RollerBall" and in that movie, all Mongolians speak Cantonese.
So it must be true.

Rollerball
... and those in Kazakstan speak Turkish.
Yeah that was a weird movie.
BTW: for Paypal, do the donations have to be in a certain currency? I haven't used it very extensively (last time was once and it was over 5 eyars ago).

There are three kinds of people in this world - those who can count, and those who can't.
Re: Rollerball
Check it out. But from a glance it looks like it accepts: US, Canadian, Euros, Pounds Sterling, and Yen.guiguibaah wrote: BTW: for Paypal, do the donations have to be in a certain currency? I haven't used it very extensively (last time was once and it was over 5 eyars ago).

Hello,
I was wondering if you would like some free hosting? I currenly run a dedicated server for a few other OSS projects (http://www.thousandparsec.net). It is extremly underused and is idle 99.9% of the time, however since I'm paying for it I'm happy to put it to good use, specially with a project I'm very intrested in.
The server is based in the USA in a secure multihomed datacenter. It is a Athlon 2000 with 256mb of ram and 40gig HD. Last year I had about 25 minutes down time in total.
I would be happy to provide shell access and help setup phpbb and media wiki if you wanted. I can also host CVS, SVN or any other applications (including ?FreeOrion servers?).
Only thing I would request in return was a link from your website to mine (I would be happy to do the same in return).
I understand if you don't want to accept hosting with an unknown person.
Hope all goes well.
