If we want to grow as a community, we're gonna have to allow donations to help fund the server in the first place so that it can grow.

Agree 100%, I know there is something that prevents TotalFreedom from allowing donations but that is the Minecraft server maybe we could allow donations through something else?

Nothing is preventing us from accepting donations. We just need community support.

Nothing is We couldn't allow donations by saying its for something else? Maybe expand Totalfreedom to allow donations if i am correct the minecraft server itself is what is not allowed to accept donations. Is it the server itself or the actual Totalfreedom Community? If its just the server maybe expand to something else and accept donations on that game or server or whatever? Edit: Oh saw ur recent edit and to that I say I made a thread like this a couple months ago and people said we couldn't because we were not allowed to?

I like the idea, but what rewards would we as a free OP server give to someone who's donated?

'As Mark said back in 2015, I think it would be more in line with the spirit of TotalFreedom to pass on the ownership than to take donations. I'm afraid it would become a slippery slope.' From StevenNL2000Also this server cant avoid drama over ownership now, imagine it with money thrown in the mix.

I can pay for the normal server. to the other person: "i thought the totalfreedommod policy meant you can't" not the case, no one actually bothered to read the license.

From StevenNL2000 At this point, in the state that this server is in, disregarding this portion of the spirit by allowing donations would benefit the server greatly in more ways than just paying for the Minecraft server itself.

What concrete things do we need funds for? "Expansion" seems very vague to me and does not at all explain how the server would benefit from it.

"Expansion" seems very vague to me and does not at all explain how the server would benefit from it. - More funds would go to the advertising department so that we could actually advertise the server a lot more than just "post about the server a lot on the Minecraft forums". G has a lot of plans to make the server as popular as it once was before, and I believe that allowing donations would in turn fund his quest to make these plans happen.
- Because an increased player count would put a lot of weight on the server, we would need to upgrade our hardware so that it can handle it. That costs quite a bit of money.
- We could pay for professional-grade developers to fix and optimize our plugins as well as patch any exploits that might come up.
