How much does it cost to run a server?
I'm getting a job so if I get accepted to the clan here I might help pay for another server on a map like snake plain, or collapsed tunnel.

The least expensive server you will find is in the $55-65.00 range if your looking at honor servers. They are considerably less for non-honor servers. Non- honor are around 1.49 a slot and honor are around 4.49 a slot......and thats just a ballpark figure. Just google gameservers.com....you'll see pricing there. Now, how can I say this nicely? As much as I'm sure OG would love to have another server up I am guessing if you are funding it yourself you would want full admin rights on it also. I may be speaking out of turn....if I am I'm sure I'll be corrected. Because of the values that OG represents we must be very cautious about attaching our tags to a server and even more cautious about who admins them. Once you get full member status you will be allowed PB power(kick ability) on our server. Unfortunately getting full admin rights on a OG tagged server will take some(alot of) time. Again this is just my opinion on this issue.....hopefully someone from the LC will weigh in on this one. Hope i helped....

yeah, thanks, that's a big help.
And I wouldn't care if I wasn't an admin... I actually enjoy playing better because I don't have as many responsibilities. I think we need more servers out there that are clean.
oh and is that a monthly payment or annual?

You're right on the money there, Lorin . That's a monthly figure, yes. We currently pay a total of $91.19 each month for our 18-slot AA honor server and our 50-slot Ventrilo server through Clan Solutions, which has the best customer service of all of the hosting providers that we've used in the past (including GoAmericasArmy, Digital Storm Servers, TypeFrag, GameDaemons, ClanServers/GameServers, and SeeMePlayMe). They're a bit more expensive than some of the other hosts, but you get back more than what you pay for in terms of service (and we get a significant discount there for being a member clan of AASA ).

How is the funding on our current servers going? I know we've had some funding issues in the past.

Donations have been down a bit over the past couple of months ... I'll try to get the donation sheet updated later today, if I get the time (still got a pretty long "honey-do" list for my day off).
