Probably most of you are aware of comp.tf (the competitive tf2 wiki), the site started almost 2 years ago (In July 2013), for the first year I took the expenses of the site and paid out of my own pocket, it wasn't really much and I was working at the time, but then the site started to take off, and it became big, way more than I originally expected and I wasn't in position to support the site anymore which is when CanFo came in (I thank him with all my heart) and connected me to Hypernia (the company sponsoring etf2l and plenty other tf2 community projects) who have been sponsoring us for the last year and providing us with host and gameservers (which weren't really very publicized).
But things took an unexpected turn and very recently I received an email informing me that hypernia is discontinuing its sponsorship program and that all gameservers will be taken offline in the next 48 hours and hosting servers in the next 2 weeks.
I am in no position to support the site on my own at the moment, as it has grown quite a bit since the start, it never had any ads (although that might change in the future to make it sustainable for the following years), and also because I'm studying at university and not working anymore.
I am thankful for all the support and help I had with the site so far and all the editors and people contributing to the wiki but now the project needs it more than ever, so I am asking if you are willing to contribute with a small donation for our site so I can move it in the following 2 weeks and keep it online.
I'm still not sure how much will be needed since this caught me a bit off guard and I'm still studying our options and checking what are the current needs of the site but for now every contribution helps.
If you donate, and wish to keep it public please do link your steam profile and I will add you to the list of contributors on our wiki

Good news, the project is safe, thanks to all your contributions and a very generous offer / partnership with evlgaming we moved the site and it should be already up and running on the new home.
Thanks to Jeeringsole and his team who basically did all the work over the weekend (the old host had a very disruptive service and had been constantly offline lately so the timing was key here), he was amazing setting this up for me, haven't had the time to go through everything but now we have enough resources to expand more than ever.Expect some good news from comp.tf (after I finish my exams).
Also I really appreciate all your contributions, it means a lot to me because this project is like "my baby", not many people contributed but some people were really generous, thankfully (because of evl offer) we might not need all your contributions, so if you wish I can send you a refund of your donation (you can pm me here or on steam), otherwise I will use it to invest in future cups we host or as a safe deposit for any future situation like this.
Thanks again everyone.
