    I think people would react poorly if server donations went to personal expenses before server expenses.

    The distinction is an illusion. If a person can’t afford to live, and a part of their life is running a server, who gives a fuck which dollar goes where?

    (Other than all the dipshits who offer 0 and demand anything more than nothing.)

      It depends on if the shortfall in rent is coming from something server related. If stux is pulling a good salary for his hosting work and the shortfall just came from a different job falling through, that’s a fine time to ask for donations, but not something people would feel warrants shutting down the server rather than taking out a loan.
