Grand Prize! March '09

We've decided to start a giveaway for the users who donate the most each month via our ChipIn module on the homepage. Each month we will try to give away something of great value that we think you, the users, will appreciate :) Here's this month's grand prize:

1 Steam Account with the following:

Counter-Strike
Team Fortress Classic
Day of Defeat
Deathmatch Classic
Opposing Force
Ricochet
Half-Life
Half-Life: Blue Shift
The Ship
DEFCON
Call of Duty
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty: United Offensive

To report your ChipIn donation, post the amount you decided to donate in this topic only. We can and will verify each alleged donation. Thanks, and good luck "bidders."

Would it be possible to receive all those as a gift on a current steam account?

We currently only give out the physical account. We're not offering them as gifts this month ;)

We have monthly server bills to pay. They're payed entirely out of the donations.

Just found the ChipIn module on your frontpage that says that you need $100 a month...
well, why?
even heavily visited gameservers with over 10TB traffic a month cost less (80-90$)

That's why I'm asking because 10-20$ seems more natural to me.
(as comparison for just a hostingprovider that offers quite alot: http://servage.net/ for just ~8EUR a month)

Protection, Vbulletin coast money, vps coast money, ventrilo coast money.

Trust me the money isnt being used where it shouldnt be, and it is all needed. I have several dedicated servers so i know the prices of ****

Yeah, right. Sorry
Didn't even know that you had Vent servers.
But it's okay then i think
Sorry, but I really thought this would be everything (domain+space with forum on it (didn't notice that it was Vbulletin that costs money)) (coast money? you're a beach! :D)

We host our own irc server, ventrilo server, and website. We don't pay a host. We pay for our own private server to host everything we need. It gets a little pricey.

haha we do make sure that the money goes to the site and not for personal use, like said before the vps is monthly, vBulletin (payment coming up i assume..) is yearly(i think?...depends) i think I dunno about ventrillo. But I do believe the most expensive thing would be vB.

vb is pretty expensive thats for sure... but yeah overall this site needs a certain amount of money to keep it running.

well sorry ATM I don't think that I can give you any of my money
But luckily the VB money is worth it

of and THANK YOU for not placing any ads here like MPC did and failed, but maybe that's a solution: some ads. I'm even willing to click on them every day 2-3 times.

we have some at the bottom of the page >.> Though I don't think i can tell you to click them as part of the terms of agreement for google ads.

You don't need to
On sites that deserve it I click on it with my free will (is this even English?)

haha alright, and yes thats English... why wouldn't it be? XD

cause it's a word by word translated german saying :D
and since the will in English is that what a dead person wants to happen after his/her death and not the thing a person can decide what to do I thought it's maybe complete nonsense for others :D

I'm getting a little tired of some Google ads I come across around the web. A lot of them are animated, and that really slows things down. >_>

SuperNovaAO, so you speak German and not English?:confused:
