Actually, that's not entirely what I meant. The problem with donator intros is the amount of files that people would have to download. The mp3 files are just too big. There are legit reasons as to why this hasn't happened yet, I was just simply trying to inform you of this.

Also, everything I write will always have an official tone. I have chosen as an administrator of FADW to always confront people and situations professionally.

I apologize for anything that I have said that caused you to respond in such a manner.

With donator intros it might get a little messy, I still haven't fixed some issues (that I truly don't know how to fix) with the intros (It playing every map change).

Also donator intros would have to be priced very high like 25-50 dollars per intro.

The files, if we didn't have a whole lot, could be dropped down, will sound bad, but you can still tell what song it is.

Oh, I didn't think that the donator name colors would be extremely hard, because the admins used to have the yellow color, and I thought that dark green and blue are pretty generic, and saying "Any color" I meant a set pallet that the admins choose. Sorry I assumed.

The yellow thing was implemented in the TTT gamemode. Unless we got someone that knows lua scripting, then we can't add that.

I've found some lua code already written for this, so I can implement it, Just have to figure out the price and such.

Oh, wow Deth, on top of everything. Wait, you mean the colors right? Or the sound?

Intros is easy to do. We already have a script for it, seeing how we already have admin intros. The reason why It's unethical is because of too many files being added to the server. Download wait times would be increased, and that would get annoying.

He's talking about color.

I'm definitely liking this new idea better. I think that donators should get name color changes, both in-game, and on the forum.

I think forum would be weird, because there's Pyro with bright red, Deth with dark red, the other admins with yellow, and then just t'd be weird. I know they'd still have the titles beneath their name to tell the difference but, thats my two cents about forum stuff. I'd love it on the server though.
