I don't know if this suggestion has ever been formally asked, but I know it's something I've been pushing for for a while, though rather passively I admit. I'm sure everyone is very greatful for the time and money the admins have invested into j2o and the jcf simply out of genuine good-will towards the community and the game it surrounds, and I think that it's time we, as the community, could voluntarily help share the load.

Through paypal donations, the community could help cut into the cost of bandwidth, storage, time, and any other expenditure so that we could give something back to those who have helped lead this community on for years into what it is today.

I don't know how many people would be really able to donate, but I know once I could make donations, I would certainly pitch in. Many people are probably too young to directly donate through paypal but I still don't think it's something that should be pushed aside. Those who have really invested themselves into the community wholeheartedly deserve it.

You might even consider giving some "special features" to donators or giving them a special status on j2o, or something. All I know is that I think it would be an honost and good way for people to pay respects and really give something back without being obligated - particularly for Bobby and FQuist. I know they would never suggest something like this themselves, and I hope they don't mind that I'm jumping out and doing it myself. Anyway, that's my suggestion.
