I was wondering, since he linked his paypal on the bottom to donate if you ever can or want, if we can make a thread to donate atleast 1 dollar a month. I saw the prices on his photon severs its 200 per server and he uses 2 for us https://www.exitgames.com/en/Realtime/Pricing thats 400 dollars total (pretty large pricing if he would to fund it alone, but if we can get atleast 100-200 members to donate ATLEAST 1 dollar a month to him that would cover half of the expenses for it) which is phenomal for funding somehting like this. I dunno its just something to look into. My idea was that you would make the thread and everyone that does donate ss the the the action that says you donated this month, they can even censor the amount. Just the action of donating alone would be enough, no need to show the amount.
Iskandar of Gurren Brigade had PM'd me an idea of where we could donate to Feng (via PayPal). At least around a dollar a month would be helpful, but you would be free to donate more, if you wish. He found out that Photon servers are $200/server, and that Feng uses two of them, just for the US part. Now imagine all the other regions combined. It's a pretty heavy cost for just one person (Jiang had quit if I remember correctly), and with the rising usage of mods and downloads, Feng's income is dropping. For those of you that use mods, I request you perhaps donate a little more, but in the end, it is just a request.

For those of you that do decide to donate, if you can show me some sort of proof (preferably through a PM), I am planning on handing out small incentives. (Small things, aesthetics, name color/usergroup, ranks, etc)
If you do not wish to state how much you donated in the thread, then you are free to black it out, but sharing of screenshots that you have donated would be nice.
