donate for what? an illegal server that will always be shut down because im mad?

you couldn't packet flood your way out of a hole, toddler.

it's pretty obvious you aren't the ddoser, plenty of people have pointed that out, and trying to impersonate one is pretty hilarious

leave this talk to the big boys.

The way they have handled the whole situation, makes me not want to donate.

Extremely poor management in resolving this issue.

Just going to leech on all you blind donaters, as they clearly dont give a shit about you anyway

pretty sure we have a solution

it's poor management? what sites have you run in the past that were free that run off of donations?
quick google search says none.

and incorrect, I don't even see the money, I just work on the server. /shrug

oh snap! GM-Secrets says you are incorrect, sir!

I never understood the whole, "I'll donate when I know ____".

It's not like the Devs haven't already done a ton of work, prior to the server going down that deserve the donation. A server going down doesn't change jack about what they've already done.

Makes me think people would never donate if the server was 100% stable, as if it could stay 100% stable without all the Devs work....

Apparently members of the P1999 community believe they are a board of directors, or are investing in the project and expect a monetary return on their investment.

I can understand the hesitance to donate...while i agree with the OP to some degree also.

I had decided before this last array of ddos attacks to begin donating to the server starting in May using the money from cancelling my live accounts. This seemed only fair to me since I haven't played on live in almost a year and have been playing here every day. That money will go to the project.

I also offered to make a large donation if it were needed for some specific solution to the ddos problems. Like I said in my original post offering such a donation I can't justify shooting hundreds of dollars off into cyberspace without someone from the project telling me (in private or on the boards) how the money could be put to good use.

So you have no faith in the developers that your money wouldn't be used for good?

[Omnimorph]

People are hesitant to donate because a) they don't know if it'll actually do any good, b) if the project is bombarded with ddos attacks now and in the future, i could foresee the devs tiring of it and just saying "hey, we tried..." and pulling the plug. and c) <insert a third point>

But that's just for the people who are donating for the 100 dollars etc. i certainly can't afford that. but $10 here and there from everyone will help out alot.

So you have people willing to donate thousand of dollars, yet ALL you can come up with is that youre pretty sure you have a solution, after being attacked for weeks?

If this is how things are run when people are trying to help you, then im not donating a cent.

Heck ive seen SoE do better.

No one gives a shit if you drop your piddly change or not. You obviously have no idea wtf is going on.
