If everyone reading this donated a dollar, our annual fundraiser would be over in just a few days.
Not everyone can or will donate. And that’s fine, because each year just enough people support Minerealm with a small donation. If you feel it's your turn, please make a small donation of $5, $10, $20, $35 or whatever you can to keep Minrealm free.
Most people don't know this, but I'm a volunteer.
I don't get paid a cent for my work at Minrealm, and neither do our thousands of other volunteer moderators and admins. When Intelli founded Minerealm, he could have made it into a for-profit company with advertising banners, but he decided to do something different.
Commerce is fine. Advertising is not evil. But it doesn't belong here. Not in Minerealm
Minerealm is something special. It is like a library or a public park. It is like a temple for the mind. It is a place we can all go to think, to learn, to share our knowledge with others. It is a unique human project, the first of its kind in history. It is a humanitarian project to bring a free Minecraft server to every single person on the planet.
Every single person.
We're a small organization, and I've worked hard over the years to keep us lean and tight. We fulfill our mission, and leave waste to others.
To do this without resorting to advertising, we need you. It is you who keep this dream alive. It is you who have created Minerealm. It is you who believe that a place of calm reflection and learning is worth having.
This year, please consider making a donation to protect and sustain Minerealm.
Thanks,
Amorphus
