CloseWould anyone care to donate to the RMN server fund?
We have a monthly shortfall of about $55 per month. No big deal if no one feels they want to. I dip into a slush fund I have set aside for any shortfalls, and even if I didn't, I still would pay the difference. This isn't some desperation plea - I am simply asking if anyone would like to donate. One-time or monthly donation option are available.

Thank you so much for our current and past donors, and all the time and effort donated to RMN over the years. I love this community a lot.

I've kept my recurring donation up since 2013 and this seems to be an issue every year. Is it worth trying something new? I vaguely recall you setup RMN as a business, I know we have the store but it never sells anything. Could we try making an RMN itch.io store or something that might get more exposure, then maybe some of the creators here could donate their time to make resources to sell in it? I'd happily contribute some plugins. Probably a terrible idea but I thought I'd ask.
As someone who sells games on itch.io, it would be a difficult change for RMN to make. RMN would need to have to make agreements with each person who sold something on the store page. In addition, they would have to have a payment method for those people. If your adding game pages into the mix??? Then you would need a purchase option and a lock option on the download link. You also need a library for purchase games. Also, refund options??? Or vetting of commercial games???
See how complicated this gets.
At most I see maybe a handful of games ever making it there.
Probably the best place for Hero's Realm 2.0
Kory, selling games on itch is a bad idea if we talk about RMN, I agree, but fomar said resources, not games.
A resource deposit with the RMN "brand", to which any proceeds went directly to server costs does not sound at all complicated. We already do things like RMN music pack events, where people voluntarily donate resources to be hosted for free as a community resource pack. There would be no difference here, people would definitely know the resources would be sold, but the proceeds would go to keeping RMN up. There are plenty of peeps here who would be up for it.

Could a cheaper infrastructure help? I've got quite a bit of exposure to AWS over the last couple of years, so could help with a move to the "cloud" if it can cut down costs at all.
Anyway, donated a bit - will try to donate monthly next year when my personal circumstances change
