We are very happy to announce that as of today, Teeworlds has officially broken even. Your generous donations have helped pay for the server that feeds the web site, the trac database and svn repositories, without which Teeworlds simply wouldn't have been possible. So far, we haven't settled on what our next purchase will be, but candidates include dedicated servers, a redundant server and hosting solution, or licenses for OS:es currently not in possession by the dev team.

While we're at it, we can also mention that we've reached another milestone of sorts: During peak hours (around 20:00 CET) Teeworlds now regularly surpasses a thousand simultaneous players. Not bad!

We've implemented a signal system for the forum, similar to Reddit and other social bookmarking sites. Every user has one up- or downvote available for each post. If a post gets enough negative votes, it will be hidden from public view to lessen the noise.

The forum rules have also been updated. Read them carefully, or risk incurring the wrath of the whatever from high atop the thing.

From this moment, we are accepting donations to fund the expenses that are starting to pile up. The money will first and foremost be going to regaining the cost of past purchases, but we also aim to purchase a dedicated server and co-location services, in order for the website and the master server to run more smoothly.

The game will of course remain free, and we'll keep you updated on how the money is used. Any surplus will be kept in the account, in the event we need to make additional purchases or payments. You can survey the progress on donations in the Donations article under the Docs section.

We'd like to take this opportunity to extend a huge thanks for the great support you guys give us. It literally means everything for the project, and for us personally.
