The THN doesn't have a "tip jar" as my hosting expenses are very low.
Just a bit of background about the server myself and about other 14 users all contribute about 10 quid a month, which covers the co-lo server hosting costs and also extra for future hardware replacements. That 10 quid includes my own personal mail domains, and the THN/TPN and a lot more.
The server hardware has just been recently replaced, since the previous server was 5 years old.
As for keeping the actual THN site going, it's usually myself that keeps an eye on things, but some of the other THN staff do lurk around. I guess it's like the game really, not many people playing, and not much happening here... but we are still here!
