You have sent me £30 previously. We had the server for one month - I think - which means I still "owe" you £20.

Well, if I could make up about £40, I'd be satisfied.

Well, I was making my finances today and looks like I have some money left so far, so I might invest it here 
.

Wow the server seems popular. If we have dedicated members who would be willing to go AFK on the server when it is empty (i.e the usual TF2 lot, Peter, me, Oli, Teek, Sams, Adam, Eldu, Noosha etc etc) we could have some donators in the form of players.
Put some messages in-server requesting donations or something which could draw people in
Good news is that I won't complain about no 2fort in the map rotation as I've started to get into Goldrush a lot now, Dustbowl used to be a regular and Gravel Pit is a rare but fun experience when I play it (seeing as I don't play much Gravel Pit 
)
Wait.. is that £64 every three months, or is that the starting price?

Yeah, I joined this morning, then Yoda joined me, then chuy (?!?) joined ... then about 15 mins later there were 20+ people!
I can't find the settings in Sourcemod to display regular messages saying things like "visit us now at <website>" or, "KNTL - Kill Now Think Later", etc, etc.

It would normally cost £24.00 per month. If you buy three months at once, you get a slight discount so it works out as £21.60 per month. So I paid £64 for three months.

Here's a thought: as the server is pretty popular, I reckon we could draw in a sponsor. Let the server run for about a week, if it stays at its current popularity we could show potential sponsor companies how popular the server is with game monitor, then show them how the initial splash screen everyone sees when they join can contain their advertisement, and also have ingame advertisements coming up every now and then.

What kind of sponsors? I love the idea and everything and if we can keep our TF2 regulars in the server we should have no problem attracting people to the server!

Well companies love advertising. And £20 a month is hardly excessive for them.
I think companies that work in things like broadband, computer parts and gadgets would be the sort of companies that would benefit from advertisements on a gaming server.

Thats all good for them and us. So what would be our side of a deal if we managed to get one.. would we advertise them on the site and on the server, or what?
What other examples are there of other people sponsoring servers. Actually, I'll dig something up on GTFOGaming, I think they are being sponsored.
Here we are - take a look at that. Three sponsors!!

Well, I can't see what else we could offer them.
- Their company name the server name
- Ingame adverts. Coloured text, multiple adverts, displayed at regular intervals
- Banner on site homepage
- Small advert on every page of the site
For example.

I just realised my sig on BF2s shows the graph of the past 24 hours of play on the server, and its smiling!!
Also, I think on special days (KNTL related, date related, player related such as birthdays or returns from holidays) we should use this.

Well, a sponsor would be nice and shouldn't be too hard to find.

Do you think (once we get a USA side going - thats if we are planning to 
) when we get enough donations/sponsors, we'll be able to rent another server out for the Americans?
