Donations for the server with a tournament?

[smrr]

I may POSSIBLY have some problems with the server costs soon, so this is where the idea came from. It's around 150-200 dollars a year for a server, so it's not exactly too much money. The idea with the tournament thing was more like, you donate a dollar, and you have a chance to win maybe 20-100 depending on how much was donated. And those willing to donate would probably be more eager to participate because they put money in, and in turn would get more people interested in doing something as a community.

I feel this is the most important statement in this thread.

You can pretty much hear an echoing "nope!" in the distance whenever someone says "tournament! cash prizes!"

But hey, when it comes to server costs - a dollar (or two, or five) donation ain't gonna hurt anyone. That's a cup of coffee!

I love the idea of having a sketchbook + bloodsports showcase - so long as it doesn't add to the expense of the server costs.

If it does, that's fine. 

Wake up, work hard, stop being a loser.
