Donations
A few thoughts I have had on this topic is a VIP (Donator Special) Jobs. I was thinking of making becoming an Admin based on if you are a VIP or not, so people will be able to become operators still, but admins will have access to all the VIP jobs, while operators will only have access to what they are whitelisted to. This will make Admins players that actually care about the server, cause no one wants to spend money on the server and watch it go down in a blaze of glory. This will be added sometime after the server is in alpha so have no fear about that all. Think of it as a grace period for players to become admins before we start adding donations and stuff. I'll keep you guys updated here on my thoughts about donations!

Arnt there also the option to have ads run for a bit when people join the server to generate a steady income?

Is there Mithril? If so I'll research it, thanks for the suggestion. But I want to still be able to reward players for helping support the server(s). (RE) I looked it up, I found some stuff, but I think players would leave a server using ads, unless I got someone to pay me each week for putting ads in the MOTD, or when joining the server.

Will VIP be a one time payment or subscription base? And if we do implement the ad system, couldny we have it that VIP dont see it?

It's going to be one time payment, but I may add other such ranks above VIP, since VIP will be cheap and have access to the uncommon jobs. I was thinking about custom classes as well but thats only if the new survivor class jobs work out well in the new server setup. The ad system isn't set up that well, which means I would have to code it out for the VIP job, and make the ad system detect if the player is in the VIP job group, so on and so forth, but ad systems don't make that much, especially since on GMOD it's just one small playerbase and most ad systems are for match based games, like TF2. So I think the most we could make is like 5-10 cents a day, not enough to pay for the servers hosting, and it's obnoxious for the players, so I can't see them sticking around for very long unless I was done with the server already, so it plays well.
