Mate, are you out of your f-in mind? Honestly?


No I am not. You gotta read between my lines. From cradle to grave, all you got is time. With said time you create your life by what you invest that time into to. By using time on a subject you learn about the subject.
Yes this is a game. Another place where time will be used or wasted. As I said "I think people would like to know". A game is entertainment or distraction, unless you make money from it, then it is a job. If you get knowledge it is a learning process. What you do is up to you. For me I do not really care. This is one server where I can chill in my off or resting time. How they fund it, is their accomplishment or problem. I am just speaking my mind. But people ask because of the curiosity of their time, if it would be well spent. But as you asked, and I agree, it wont change a thing. I will still invest some time into it, to experience my memories and have fun. Take from it what you take.

If they're buying dedicated servers from OVH (where they are buying ddos mitigation afaik) it's very possible they just split the bill, they're quite cheap.

Yes, everybody that owns a OVH server pays for it's ddos protection. Everybody pays for it (and therefore has to pay less) and everybody benefits from it. So it's not as expensive as many people think it is.
While my servers there haven't been under attack as of yet, I know a few people (industry professionals) that are very pleased with OVH's protection. It's a pretty good and fair system from what I can tell.
