Thread: DONATIONS

I'll take a mod position. I can do research and post on it. Besides, I like a blue name

I don't exactly post a ton, but I always make sure to check every post that is made.

Thunder, I added you to the list for future positions. I don't want to over do it with the staff right now. I'm sure you understand.

Guys - I'm doing things differently as there's been so much going on - thought we wouldn't list everyone out, and instead we've just made sure we thank you personally for your help. We respect your privacy here, we do not want to make anyone a target for donating......good or bad.

Needless to say, we couldn't have made it through the month with out all of you. We're here because we stick together as a group to fight for what we believe in.....there will be future battles, tougher than this one, there will be things that catch us off guard....but as long as we never give up, and stick to our principals - our success will continue to stand as a beacon of teamplay and unselfish focus in the online gaming world.

We're truly unique, we truly standalone.

Guys, we feel severly short this month, so if you've been thinking of a reserve slot, or of making a donation, now would be the time.

Thanks to all that did donate - We now have 202 reservists total - almost the highest it's ever been.

We had a little bit of runover as respects web hosting, it was $300 more than we expected due to some January overrun, things we'd used but not yet paid for.

We also bought a year's worth of subversion hosting for some special things we're working on.

We did have a very large charge hit us back to January for firewall installation fee's. The charge actually hit 3/25/08 ish, and I thought it was next month's (April's) bill till April's bill came a few days later...Advertising revenue will start to show up in this month (May 08) or next, that should offset some of the costs incurred.

We're grateful for such a strong community and appriciate all you guys do to keep teamplay alive!!

As school lets out later this month and the summer begins - grab a reserve slot, buy a tee, get on the servers and website, we're counting on you!

We really had an absolutely fantastic month, this month guys, and for the first time our Ad revenue kicked in. We can't say who all it's actually from, but you can see that it helped.

We had quite a few reserve slots expiring this month - so if you're on the list - reinstate them - let's keep the good time 'a flowin'.

Happy gaming to you all as we begin the summer - it's our busiest time of the year!!

Guys+Gals,

You'll see we're a bit deeper in the hole this month due to some extra costs we've incurred for advertising TTP.  We're spending about $5.00 a day with Google to advertise on sites in the gaming industry, to perhaps draw some more traffic to the site.  I'll leave the details to bigdog to explain but basically we've had our largest month BY FAR as respects users online (Over 80 on three different day's) and by unique users.

If you want to help, but can't donate, speak up in game, invite good squad mates to the site - EVERY TIME YOU PLAY - !!!!!

Thanks for your continued support folks - we had about 160 of us this month that helped spread the cost......without you all, we'd be a lost cause!

The servers are heating up for the summer - If you've not purchased a reserve slot yet, you should - !

Reservists, Reg's and Admins really made the difference this month, by holding steady, being generous and helping us out by being consistent. Ad revenue was a little slow, but this will drastically pick up next month thanks to big's expert tactics.

Another large thanks to everyone who participated in July, it was an expensive month, but a great month for growth, and for TTP, especially on the daily amount of unieque users on the site at a time...

We had our first teamplay world championship (please see the homepage) and we awarded a serious prizes for our new banner.

Keep gaming, keep your heads up and stay on your mic's.......if you want to help but you can't donate, tell EVERY ONE OF YOUR friends about us!
