= DEFF IS BACK ONLINE! = THE ANSWER IS ... 42 !

[Karl Doenitz]

DEF - THE DOENITZ ELITE FLOTILLA RESUMES NORMAL OPERATIONS NOW AND DEFF - THE FORUM - IS BACK ONLINE!

WE THANK EVERYBODY WHO GAVE SOMETHING. MOST THANKS TO THE #1 DONATOR, E.S. - SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU!

THE SERVER-COSTS ARE NOW COVERED, BUT WE HAD TO MAKE SOME UNPALATABLE COMPROMISES:
- WE COULD NOT SCRAPE UP THE MONEY FOR THE TWO-YEAR-FEE, SO SERVER-COSTS ARE ONLY COVERED FOR 1 YEAR.
- WE COULD NOT GET THE MONEY TOGETHER TO ALSO COVER THE TEAMSPEAK-FEE, SO WE LEAVE IT DOWN FOR GOOD.

WE FROM DEF & REVISION ARE ALL GETTING BURNT OUT ON HAVING TO BEG FOR SUPPORT, BUT WE WANT TO FINISH OUR
LAST MAJOR RELEASE THAT THE COMMUNITY WILL ALSO GET FOR FREE: THE UNIVERSAL INSTALLER. AND AFTER THAT WE
DECIDE HOW TO MOVE ON WITH SO LITTLE IN OUR HANDS AND A COMMUNITY OF BIG WARM WORDS THAT APPARENTLY
DOES NOT APPRECIATE WHAT WE ARE DOING (AT LEAST IN ITS VAST MAJORITY).

FOR NOW: THANKS. WE ARE BACK. ENJOY WHAT WE SERVE. FOR FREE. WITHOUT REGISTRATION. AS ALWAYS.

     

IT HAS TAKEN THE COMMUNITY A TOTAL DOWNTIME OF 42 DAYS TO NOTICE THE NEED AND COLLECT THE FUNDS.
WHAT WE LEARN FROM THIS IS THAT WE START THE NEXT PUBLIC DONATION-CALL FOR THE NEXT PAYMENT RIGHT NOW
TO AVOID THE ULTIMA RATIO OF TAKING THE FORUM DOWN IN ORDER TO EMPHASIZE THE IMMEDIATE REQUIREMENT.

GUTE JAGD ALLE!

Alright, we're recruiting again!

[REV_Grey Eminence]

And as I said, we begin the next donation-run already now, because most donations are few bucks and so it takes ages.
Reason #2 is that we cannot pay Teamspeak, so anyone feels like supporting?
Either pay to Teamspeak (Lightspeed Servers) direct using http://www.teamspeak3.com/server/LSG-85-17652DEB

DEF's QUARTERMASTER (TheShark) has just reported in that with the newest contributions to DEFPAL we can now easily put DEFTS3 back online.

Re-opening date: 20221001 during Europe daytime.

Put meeting dates into the calender.

On a second thought: Those guys at Teamspeak and their resellers must really be nuts! They have just raised +20% on their prices!!

Ja, ja! Flotilla-life isn't cheap...
