We are covered for about 4 months of server uptime

I'll go and try it out, damn long time since I was here.
I believe the only way to be able to cover monthly donations is by having a subscription based service, it should not be too expensive (no more than 5-10$ a month).If every active player that loves this community pitches in monthly there should be no issue getting the monthly costs covered.
I disagree. I also fundamentally dislike the notion of subscription services being pushed everywhere. I like the system that is currently in place, where users can choose to support the server and receive a variety of features permanently.
That system does not work for a community this small, MY would either need more popular gamemodes that aren't buried in the server list or a large amount of people need to start playing smash and slope (won't happen)

There should not be a disparity between "subscription" users and regular users. Donations for gold bars and VIP ranks are different as they aren't continually charged, and they're less off-putting. Not everything has to be packed into a subscription service; it's not the answer.If I went to a community website for a game server on any game and saw that they were taking donations for some reasonable incentives for the sake of keeping the server alive, I would totally understand. It's reasonable.If I went to the same site and it was trying to justify a subscription service that costs as much per month as it cost to purchase the game itself, I would never return to that website. Simple.Subscription services are divisive by nature. Surely there are better solutions... If you look at the donation progress so far, after only a few weeks, I'd say we have more than enough time to work out the kinks of the system.
This community is not a charity case. If we strengthen the viability of the servers, improve the systems in place, and make an effort to outreach to a new and growing player-base, there is no reason to do this "save the server" nonsense. That's like giving up from the start.
