What could I buy for $130? 2, maybe 3 video games. I've already purchased Orange Box, so I don't see why I should have to pay more for the game. So for me, it's just a different point of view I have about the economics of charging for admin. So I've been trying to see if there was a way to get in for less. If by helping others who are new, trying to maintain civility, and promoting by example that good kind of behavior which was healthy for the server, that perhaps I could get a discount that would make me feel better about the $132 a year price tag.
there isn't


you don't need to have admin in order to play. you don't need to pay more to be able to play. however, if you wish to support the server and keep it running well and clear of trash, you can donate 11$ and receive admin. the money goes straight to one of three things:
the servers' costs (renting servers aint cheap after all)
upgrades to zero's comp so he can better manage the servers
and an account to hold in reserve just in case we need it (aka, we need an upgrade for the servers, or need to pay a programmer to work on something for a mod)

we don't ask that you pay for any of that. however, if you want admin, you're required to pay. in the end, that 11$ you're trying to get out of helps the server more than all of your good deeds.having admin is not a right, it's a privilege, given to those who help support the servers.
