Two of the newer players have said they'd be happy to pay the next months fee as long as the server stays as is for the time being

Hey everyone, I'll be hosting a google talk conversation Tomorrow night (7pm mountain time) and Sunday (10am mountain time) to discuss what we're going to do with the server. No mics required because google talk does support text messaging.
I'll update this post with my google talk name when I'm off work (I....can't remember my password for it so I may need to make a new one...don't judge me).
I'm choosing google talk over skype because you can have up to 10 ppl in the chat vs Skype's 3.
If no one shows up, the server will default into shutting down forever.
We'll discuss:
1) how to pay for the server a) memberships or dedicated donators
2) who will pay for the server a) pay for whitelist b) pay for modship (example)
3) new world
4) vanilla or FTB
I am also looking into some plugins that will limit how much of the world can be generated so we dont run into the issue of running out of physical memory on the server's HDD

That might have been a while ago... We've hosted calls with manys a people in it (One of our friends DOES have premium, but they're in the 10 person chat, and the benefit there is you get to turn webcams on in group chat)

We've hosted calls with manys a people in it (One of our friends DOES have premium, but they're in the 10 person chat, and the benefit there is you get to turn webcams on in group chat) It may have changed quite a bit since I last used it...in any case, the reason I dropped Skype in the first place is because it likes to behave like a virus and take over my computer.... @thread: My gmail is greenfire32@gmail.com and I'll be starting a google "hangout" tonight around 6pm mountain time (an hour early to make sure everyone can join and iron out issues, etc). I'll also be hosting a hangout tomorrow morning around 10 am mountain time if nobody shows up tonight. If nobody shows up at all, the server will be shut off when I get the notice for the next payment due (usually the 11th - 14th of the month)

I am now online. Discussion officially begins at 7pm mountain time (about 30 mins from now) but you are free to send me your gmail and get in early.
If no one shows up tonight, i'll be online for a half hour after 7. After that there will be another session tomorrow at 10 am mountain time. Same situation with that discussion as well.
If no one shows up to either, or we can't come to an agreement on how we should handle the server, it will be shut down for good when I get the notice for the next due payment (usually the 11th - 14th of the month).

Ok, so both hangouts were total failures (no one showed up to either), and I think most of that is due to the fact that I only gave 24 hours notice so I've decided to host 2 more hangouts. 1 next Saturday at 7pm mountain time and 1 next Sunday at 10am mountain time.
If no one shows up to those, the server will be shut down for good.

The server is still pretty active, however the people that are on it practically daily aren't forum users... I mentioned it to them buuuuut because I was away all weekend I couldn't get them in the chat >_>

Aye, well as I've said, there are 3 guys, each willing to pitch in £20, so that's £60, which is about $90, which will keep the server running a bit

Maybe we should discuss it on this thread, Xargen get the other players to post on here. They can post as guests if they dont want to make accounts. P.S. I will chip in £20 in about 2 weeks.... I have a wedding to attend this weekend (my own!) P.S.S Nice rank Xargen
