Title: Donations
Post by: optical on December 10, 2010, 01:36:43 am: As some of you may of noticed, i've added a donation button to the top of most webpages on the forum. If you enjoy playing on the server, or using the software (Official beta release coming soon!), please donate to show your appreciation!

I have spent countless hours developing the software the server is running on from scratch, donations help to show your appreciation for all the work i've put into making opticraft what it is. Donations are also used to pay for the monthly server bill, which helps keep the public server online. I am currently paying to run the server off of a VPS, which provides us with 24/7 uptime, as well as a lag-free connection capable of supporting 100+ players.

So, if you have feel like spreading the love, especially during the festive season, consider sending in a donation to show your appreciation.
Remember, no donation is too small, even if it is only $1!

Thanks,
Optical.

All colours can be used in titles (Provided you have the colour addon). But words like "operator", "Admin", etc are disallowed. As are any vulgar titles etc.

Title: Re: Donations
Post by: optical on August 31, 2011, 09:08:16 pm: titleset is a general title command. Changetitle is the donation version of it. Only admins can use titleset - to change other peoples titles if they use something offensive or inappropriate etc. Nothing else.

Possibly you could sell a downgraded version of titleset, which can only change your own title. I dunno, I just hate the []'s remaining white.
