Donations are going where?

Postby Ionic » 20 Mar 2015, 22:20

If we donate where is the money going now?

I want to donate (again), but want the money to go to some place that Visonik and his team can use the funds.

In England we get a breakdown of how the astronomical amount of tax we pay is spent, its very much a political thing but still a great idea.

I think if you could show a breakdown of what it went to without a generic header ie "server costs" it would encourage more to contribute.

You can verify this by looking at the email that is shown on paypal after clicking the 'Donate' button on http://faforever.com.

I have and never will donate until I see a precise breakdown of server costs/maintenance/funds for tourneys/etc

Part of the reason I was okay to boot ZePilot is that he claimed he was "WAITING FOR A SALE" on server memory when there was thousands of euros in donations... You could build a dedicated server for the amount of money that was donated. The guy probably funded his own personal retirement/vacations for life with all the money people gave him.

Of course I could be wrong, but since NO ONE ever did publish a budget there is zero way to say so.

I think a set of working professionals should be appointed (to prevent devious behavior) under visionik to find a way to display this information and give due credit to the money donated.
