DONATIONS

**...bigdog...** · 06-23-05, 10:22 PM

Donation system is active. Use the link in the main menu.

You can donate as much or as little as you wish. Currently, our costs are rather significant, and if you enjoy what you're doing here, dropping even a few bucks a month, literally, means a lot. It takes a lot of time, effort, and of course money to keep things running smoothly, and if you're enjoying the benefits of a well run server/website, be a pal, and help us out.

Use the "Donations" link in the left tool bar for single or monthly donations (enter your values, then press the "donate now" button). Single donations are what they say....one time donations. Weekly, monthly, and yearly donations occur in the frequency of their namesake. For example, monthly donations recur automatically every month. Specifically, the amount you sign up for will be automatically sent to TTP each month through paypal on the same calendar day that you began your first donation, from the source of funds (credit card, checking, whatever), until you choose to cancel it.

You can cancel recurring donations (called "subscriptions" by paypal) at any time on paypal's website in your history profile. NOT THROUGH US. You control your subscription. We don't.

Remember to fill the button information in first (amount, frequency, currency) before you press the "donate" button. The "donate" button will take you to Paypal.com's secure transaction page for our account, texasteamplayers@yahoo.com. If you have paypal, then you know how it works. If you don't, its very simple to sign up using your email address and a credit card or bank account. Paypal is the ONLY WAY TTP is and will accept donations, regardless of what they are for.

It's easy. It's secure. And it's greatly appreciated.

But.....why donate for nothing, when you can get something in return? Buy some TTP gear as a means of donating!

[size=18px]Things to know about donations:[/size]

[size=18px]#1. All donations go towards paying for the server, its upgrades, and its community (the website).[/size]
The paypal account receiving donations is the same account used to pay for the server, so there's no need to worry about us taking your money and running. Where would we go? We're too big for scamming now. If we have a surplus of cash in the account, it simply goes towards next month's costs.

[size=18px]#2. Donate what you feel like. [/size]
The server isn't going to stop simply because we're out of cash. We've been running it ourselves for years. But every bit helps. If you want to donate $1-5 a month.....do so. If you want to donate more.....go ahead.

[size=18px]#3. Donations do not guarantee promotion in power, but certainly influence it. [/size]
Absence of donations will not guarantee demotion in power, but can be taken into account. We are not making you pay us, but are certainly encouraging you to think about helping us. You can't buy your way into power, but know that power is based on overall contribution to the server and website though play time, suggestions, communication, and of course, finances.

[size=18px]#4. Donating significant amounts does NOT give you control over server administration. [/size]
We can't have 10 different people editing files and making a mess of things. However, your contributions do indicate you are serious about helping, and give you a VERY STRONG voice in how things are going to work around here. There's a lot of powers to be had, other than direct administration of the actual server and it's account(s).

[size=18px]#5. Please do not donate amounts you can't afford. [/size]
If you are unemployed, still in school, etc....just show us your contribution in your attitude and play time. We're not expecting 14 year old's to pony up $20 a month.

[size=18px]#6. Let's keep this cool. [/size]
Money typically makes a mess of things, and at ANYTIME it becomes an issue between members about who's donating what, the donation system will be suspended and the "problem" will be solved.

And you know how we solve problems.

[size=18px]#7. There is no room for criticism about donation amounts, frequency, or reasons.[/size]
The only thing that concerns you is your donation, and only your donation. Do not be influenced by others in your reasons for contributing. Do what you want.

[size=18px]#8. READ CAREFULLY: Once your money is off to paypal (the server account) we will have difficulties returning it, especially if you don't have a paypal account. [/size]
Texas ...TeamPlayers... is NOT a bank, and we are not interested in donors that, 2 weeks later, will have second thoughts and ask to be refunded. We are fair and honest people, as you can see from our dealings in the website and server, but being fair goes both ways. If you decide to make a donation, and 2 weeks later you get angry and decide to "cash out".......you can't expect us to give your donation back. Referring to "Rule #6: Let's keep this cool", if you don't feel that you're in it for the duration with us, through good times and bad, then don't make a donation. The last thing we want to do is make enemies, or be called cheaters, and tossing money into the mix will only add more tension, should you have an issue.

[size=18px]#9. Paypal charges TTP fees for your donation.[/size]
For every penny we get, Paypal keeps 3% + $0.30. So if you donate $5, we actually get $4.55 (you do the math). This isn't a major loss for the server, and it's a part of making things simple for our users. Later, we may find a way around this fee, but for now, we are satisified in getting 97% of our donations.

Everyone thanks you for your contribution. We can make this as big and long lasting as we wish......but not unless people show they're interested.

Donations, even small ones, show that.

We appreciate EACH and EVERY ONE.

If you'd like a reserve slot, or if you just want to say thanks for the lagg free server's and the "freshest" website ever (Yeah you can quote me on that) - Then send us a few $$.

See you all on the server.
