People are willing to pay to help servers out, because those servers are worth playing on. I hope my server is one of those (and we've been getting a lot of donations, so I guess I'm doing something right).
Lastly, those donations were the ones received from people who knew they were donating to the CoFR cause. Whether or not you think that's right that one server should get picked out amongst many makes no difference, those people have donated to that cause, so why on earth shouldn't the server get the money!!
Good one CoFR, live long and... etc <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Awwww if only these servers were aussie, i'd have no problem donating to them. Altho that no swearing policy would be a bit harsh on us foul mouthed skips but at least u'd take care of all those other damn losers. Good work on keeping a high quality server up and admined. BEAR HUGS FOR ALL!!!! awwwww isnt that cute....

I do think CoFr is a mite sensitive about language though ... a ffs in voice gets you banned first time , if an admin is on and hears you. Now, I don't cuss all that much - at least that's what _I_ think - but something slips out now and then in the heat of battle.
A pity - CoFr is actually in only CD-required server with a decent population active at the time of this post.
I make it a habit to apologize after every cuss-word that slips out. Frankly, I don't know why they haven't banned me yet. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> hehe

I've sometimes downloaded CD myself - seeing as I ping 2000+ to CoFR, but it's still pretty heart-warming to see a servers community rally and keep it alive.
Cheating Death is really more used as a deterrant for undesireables then as an anti-cheat tool, even though it is effective as both. If it's too much hassle for someone to download, mission accomplished! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Sad to hear about this news, cofr was one of the greatest servers in natural selection, had mature admins, and good players. Hope you guys will be able to get it back up sometime! I will play on it for sure =D.
I know that im probably gonna get killed for saying this , but im gonan say it anyway.. "people make the server, the servver doesnt make the people"
you can still have it the same way, just on a different server <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
dont kill me for saying it, just think bout it =P
(and yes i am sorry its down <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->)
Ok, looks like some of the latest posters haven't read the whole thread. I can't blame them for not reading through 10 pages so here's a recap:
<b>The server is staying up.
Flayra made a hefty donation and several players have signed up for monthly donations so the server is financially secure.</b>
I agree with the people making the server, us admins can only make sure that the wrong sort of people don't manage to disrupt it. It's a lot easier to make a server bad then good.
ta <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->, but in fairness to all those nice cofr admins out there ( <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> ), you cant have a decent selection of people unless there are decent admins to make sure only decent pople play on the decent server :S <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Thats not true, unless you swore many times before that, saying something like FFS or BS won't get you banned. If you make it a habit of saying it after every death, then you'll probably get banned sooner than later. Trust me, the admins are fair, and they won't ban you without good reason.
