I've been running gaming communities since 1999.  That money grabbing attitude is something from the last 5-10 years.  Donations never have been an issue for any of the communities I've dealt with. A simple reserved-slot reward is what users receive on donating. It's simple economics -

Saint K is so adorable. Very strong, hard coded opinions about how community servers should be run based on his 18 years of real life community operating experience. If communities aren't run how he thinks they should, they should die a painful death, their owners probably should too huh? Let's

Location is a huge factor. I can tell by your website you're based in Europe (but I couldn't find your csgo servers?), which has a much different cago community than America. There's a much greater emphasis on competitive play in Europe and vanilla servers are more accepted, whereas in America

Once upon a time we also had US based servers. Same deal. Hosting servers as a clan or community never has been about raising or earning money. These are hobby projects and you should treat them as such. Besides having paid for the game, VALVe owes you nothing in terms of server software and

The concepts were fine before valve put all these restriction on servers. People enjoy playing in servers with absurd skins. Just go into any 1.6 or source server and you'll see. The problem is valve made those "illegal" in csgo, so now you have to monetize because you have to keep buying tokens.

The same has happened on the modding / server plugin front - people used to share information pretty much freely and help each out (and server admins willing to try their hand at coding), now it's all private in the name of exclusivity, $$$, and laziness. This has had a double effect of pushing

You’re looking at outdated data. As communities as a whole moved into an entirely different direction, community websites don’t really matter anymore. Most communications go through alternative platforms nowadays – such as discord. If you looked a bit further you also see that registration

Once upon a time is dead and gone. I also had incredibly popular servers once upon a time, with enough donations to pay for the server *and* buy things for the community (eg games for giveaways). It's not like that anymore around here. I still run servers, and I pay for them with my own money,
