Financing
 

Sooo.... how is this whole thing financed? If it is just coming out of a few peoples' pockets.... is there a way in which members/players can donate to offset maintenance costs or is some wealthy sponsor we have to thank? ;)

Main page - right beneath the list of servers and their player counts - is a Donate button.

Donations go towards server costs, but I think a good portion of it is paid out of pocket by the owners.

Bernie Sanders' magic money that just comes from nowhere and fixes everything pays for it

Nirgon is correct
