The Donations Page

It's always been our philosophy at MoodleWeb to have full disclosure about everything, but especially when it comes to the financial matters. It's a leap of faith to give hard earned dollars to faceless internet people, so we are always sure to document and publish when we receive any donation. By being public with our finances (both earning and spending) we hope to reassure everyone that the money was received and -- in the same good faith it was given -- is being used for the benefit of all.


You may view our up-to-date financial report >HERE<.

 

We give thanks to all these generous people that have donated in the past:

 

Day of Defeat: Source

Our DoD:S server has been up since 2005, and has become the cornerstone of the MoodleWeb community.

The server costs $139.62 every three months, which comes out to $46.54 per month.

It runs 16-players, and no extra plugins or mods. (No death-ray, kill sounds, etc. Just default / CAL settings.)

If you'd like to help keep the DoD server up and running, please click the following delicious button to view your options:

 

Half Life 2 Deathmatch

The HL2DM Server has been around since 2004, holding a special place in a lot of our hearts.

The server costs $44.87 per month.

MoodleWeb.net & Misc.

Other than DoD and DM server costs there are also costs like the Ventrilo server or domain/hosting fees.

MoodleWeb Gatherings

From time to time Moodles like to congregate and meet with eachother in a face-to-face real-life type setting. These Moodle Gatherings take months to organize and usually take place over a few days. There is often a lot of food and drink to be purchased (bought or dining out), operational costs (hotel, site rental), as well as prizes and souvenirs (usually in the form of simple t-shirts).

More about your donations

Q: How exactly does it work?

A: I'm glad you asked!

Donations are made directly to the PayPal account. This same account is used for the recurring payments to Nuclear Fallout, our server hosting company. If there is not enough money in PayPal to cover the costs, the remainder would withdraw from Liiza's real-life bank account. In this way, your donations go directly towards the server fees. All donations currently go to the same PayPal account, so the different buttons are for clarity and tracking. If there are excess funds, usually it goes towards future costs.

Q: Why do the DoD and DM servers cost so much?

A: That is what they cost at Nuclear Fallout. They actually charge new customers more than we pay, so we are grandfathered in at our price.

Q: Why do you rent from Nuclear Fallout then?

A: Their customer service is outstanding and their product is top-notch. They provide custom web-tools and a live-chat that is actually answered. (For real.) You can visit their site, nfoservers.com to read all about it. Q: I have questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, ideas, non-monetary donations, alternative payment needs, problems, needs, wants, deepest desires, stories, grievances, hugs, and lots of other things, and I don't know what to do!

A: We are very happy to hear it! Please contact us right away! Email us (forwards to Liiza, Clove, and Ich), send Ich a Forum PM, or just post in Forums. We like to share.
