Thanks very much to Jasperman, //jet247, and Runner for their kind donations so far, as usual your support comes as no surprise and is greatly appreciated! Also thanks goes out to a relatively new player to our ranks, Tokyo Fist, who has decided to help the NBR out by taking a Platinum Subscription, which considering how many players the NBR has that have been here for years and never helped out at all is extra pleasing. To show our gratitude on everyone's behalf to Tokyo he has been given a server reserved slot for as long as his subscription runs for. Anyone else deciding to become a Platinum supporter will also have this gratitude extended to them too (IMG:

And what Runner says is perfectly true that every little helps, and if a lot of people gave a little it makes a bigger difference than a few people giving a lot. We appreciate that the vast majority of our players are not super loaded rich dudes, but everyone here puts credit on their phones, buys beer and fags and mars bars and stuff and i doubt there are many people that could honestly say they truly couldnt rustle up a fiver here and there to help us out a bit and save the usual suspects from having to pay for everything all the time. Some of our players are better off and can afford to pitch in a bit more, its just a case of wanting to is all.
Having said that its not always about the money, i am well used to parting with the hard earned to keep us going, sometimes its extra refreshing that someone has just taken the trouble to send us something, even if it is just a few quid, the fact that they bothered to show their appreciation of everything we provide for them at all kind of makes all the hard work seem worthwhile, and to be honest there are a lot of times when i wonder why i bother doing all this at all!
