Like its pointless.
There's nothing noble about being lazy with money and wasting it like that.
Seriously, if they asked people for $5 a month for a dedicated server, that would be completely okay.
I don't consider it wasted, nor am I lazy with it, I've gained some valuable experience doing this and helped a lot of people, it's been worth it to me. I don't expect you to understand my reasons for running a free service, but my mindset is not like most people in this game. I have nothing against paid hosting, but I started this as a free service and would like to keep it that way if I can. The entire reason I started it was to prove that a free hosting service could be run and run well. I think I succeeded.
This will remain a free service, but if some people would be willing to pay $5 a month for their server slot as a way to support the service, I have no problem with that.
