I can't think of anything in my day to day life which has provided better value than the TV Servers. As for most people, my LFS licence could pretty much be called a TC Licence. I've paid £36 for an S3 licence just to sit on the TV Servers, and not a single penny of that payment goes anywhere near TC. You're all happy to buy S2/3, but a voluntary donation comes along and some of you are up in arms like Pete has the cold barrel of a Glock pressed up against your spine.

This has been more than a game to almost all of us. We're a TC Community, we've all made friends, some of which will be life long. I know a few of you even meet up in real life, probably to kiss or something. It's been a select few people who've been mostly supporting the servers for the past few years now, and that's not exactly fair on them. All we're asking is that a you share the load, either by donating a few of your pennies to the cause (seriously, cook your own dinner for once instead of eating out and the money you'll save would go a long way, lazy fatties) or if you don't want to or have the money to donate, have some adverts sprinkled on your screen to generate funding for us.

All the admins are volunteers. We aren't getting paid to have a good time. We aren't paid to put up with your bullshit. We aren't paid to separate crying children and put them in the naughty corner. None of us will see any of this money, it'll be used for continuing to host the servers, services and the community that so many friendships grew and flourished from. Without funding, these servers would simply have to cease operations, and the community we've all grown to know and love would dissipate. Friendships of old and new would probably be lost, and new ones never even found.

Like most of you, I'm proud to be a part of this community and I hope you'll help it remain for years to come.

Oh, and nobody flips their shit about a crappy Forza game being £80 for the ultimate package.
