Except that it was not a donation, but it was prize money.

I didn't say it was, I said "try considering it as". Then you'll understand my reasoning, that's all.
About timing: this isn't a "Goztow donates money to renforums" topic. TK2 donated twice towards a Renegade project: once in 2k5 to Renguard and once now. The reason why I put up a public thread about it this time is of course related to recent events. I have the feeling that people tend to take this place for granted a bit too much. The very fact someone wrote in this topic "this place doesn't even need donations" shows this very well. Do you have any idea what it costs to keep this place running? It's not because there's no huge "DONATE TO US TO KEEP US ALIVE" button that it means Crimson doesn't appreciate / need donations. Do you think that Westwood ever thought she'd still be paying for running these forums 7 years later? Heck, even xwis' serevrs are being paid for by EA.
Do you realize that Exodus has distributed a considerable amount of prize money since they started? Do you really consider they need your donations if they can do this? I know n00bstories also does something like this, which is one oft he reasons why I would never donate to that project. But this is personal opinion / preference of course and a bit unrelated to this discussion.
All in all the donation was more a symbolic thing to do than something else, as our donation doesn't even cover half a month of renforums running costs. Just like NE's donation to exodus seems like it was a symbolic thing as well as it doesn't even cover 1/10th of Exodus' server running cost AFAIK but he did seem eager to post about it on these forums.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord
