Hello everyone! Myself,
@Bert John and
@kevinminion have been doing a lot of discussion about the future of the server lately. Due to personal reasons, Bert is unable to continue hosting the server in the future. Please do not ask for more details, it is up to Bert to share that with us if he wishes to.
As we don't want to have another period of prolonged downtime, the three of us have been working on a solution to this problem. After some discussion on the staff forum that really didn't go anywhere, I've been forced to make a decision with very little input. As such, I'm putting together a small poll to get more input before we finalize anything.
Our current plan is to upgrade the server to a new box on a new host before our current hosting plan runs out. This will help with a lot of the performance problems we have been having as of late, however it also doubles the current server bill. We are currently unable to pay for this entirely on our own, and our existing donation method has not been working so well. Due to this, I have decided to look into setting up a Patreon for the server. This would allow us to set multiple goals, and setup recurring donations. Donation benefits would be reworked slightly during the move. Existing donators would be able to keep their current perks for an as of yet undetermined period of time (I'm currently leaning towards at least 6 months).
We also want to get some community input as we've noticed several community members seem to be having some concerns about the server as of late. The last section of the poll has several questions regarding your experiences with the community and staff, and room for any suggestions you may have.
Additionally, we have been made aware that a few people have not yet received donator benefits. If you are one of these people please contact us ASAP and we will verify your donation and then give you your benefits. I will ping a few people that we believe may not yet have received their benefits below.
@Deadly Gageybage:P Please take your time when filling out the form, and be as honest as possible.
