GOAL REACHED! - See notes in 2nd post
[progress=100]Progress for Donations (updated daily)
Goal: $1443.00
Total: $1443.00[/progress]

Evening all. It's that time once again. The bill for the COH Rebirth servers are now due. (They took a long time to generate this time.) Let's get into what we're doing and how to fund.

Planned Bill

This is the currently issued bill:



There is one new charge that is being added:

- Ryzen - 4 Core / 32GB Ram / 240GB SSD @ $60/mo (So the bill PLUS $360.)
This will be the new home for the git repository where the Rebirth codebase is stored. Currently, we have the Git repository stored on the test servers box which tends to cause hang ups and other performance problems on the Test server network itself.

This will cause the entirety of the bill to be $1443.00 for the period of six months.

How to Donate

Currently PayPal is how we collect donations. (You do not need to make a PayPal account and can even donate anonymously.)

DONATIONS CLOSED!!

If you wish to make a payment outside of PayPal, please contact me via forum or Discord DM.

The bill's deadline is 09/01/2021 which leaves just under two weeks to pay the bill. This link will remain active until either the deadline OR when double the bill's amount has been collected.

Questions and Answers
If you have questions about the donation drive, please use this thread to submit them or you can have a discussion with me in private on Discord/forum DMs.

FALL/WINTER GOAL REACHED

Thanks to a tremendous effort, the payment for the Fall/Winter term (until March 2022) has been paid!




Donation drive extension
Since the goal was reached for the server costs for the Fall/Winter session, we're extended the deadline until the full year's costs are reached. Once August 31st is come and gone, any money left over will be pushed forward to the next bill. If the balance is hit, it will immediately close out.

The server has been fully funded for the year! The donation drive will open up in August 2022!

Here are the paid bills for the Rebirth servers Spring "term". It came out to two separate bills as I had to put some money in to cover for the extra "days" to start the Git servers. (They prorated an extra 14 days, I covered it 🙂 ). The donation drive for the next six to twelve months will begin in July to cover 2022-2023.
