You see, college budgets are... And not to mention that if you tack the word "horse" in front of anything the price seems to triple, and that's mostly the stuff I need to buy so that doesn't leave me with much :/
I'll gladly donate my spirit to the cause, if that means anything.

I just posted an update to the project page to answer some of your questions, here's what it says:
Wow, after only one day we've reached the first target! Thank you all so much for your support, it means the world to me.
The campaign will not close now we've reached our first target. I want to keep it running for as long as people want to keep contributing, probably for the full 21 days. By raising more money here we keep the server running for longer. If we raise enough, we can afford an even better hosting plan (that's the target of £2250 I mentioned in the text). You'll continue to be able to pledge for the whole period the campaign is running, and of course you will receive the rewards if you pledge during this period.
As far as receiving the rewards is concerned, once the campaign closes PleaseFund.Us will pass on your contact information to me, and I'll be in touch to ask you for your Minecraft name (or shipping address if needed) so I have a complete list of who needs to get what. So don't worry about that, you don't need to give me your Minecraft name at this point.
Now's the time to shoot for that higher goal to give Brohoof the best possible home when we come back. You can help by getting the word out on your Facebooks, Twitters and Tumblrs. Whatever way you have to show the broader community what's happening here. Brohoof is a server for everyone, so lets make some new friends!

Have yet to cave for the other Social Networks though so sadly cannot do much on that front eventhough I desperately want to.
(Wanna help out so badly in any way I can but I keep finding stuff that is blocking me from doing it,
you guys are my family and deserve all the support I can give)

We don't receive any of the money until after the campaign closes, and we want to leave the campaign running as long as possible so we can afford the better hosting (and to run for longer than 6 months). As soon as the campaign closes we'll put things in motion to get the server back as quickly as possible after that.so since we made the goal (And a lot over it), when does the server get back up?

By that time it's pretty likely all our plugins and stuff will be updated to 1.4.5, so I'd assume that. It depends on that, and whether Mojang releases any more versions.Sorry if this isn't the appropriate place to ask this or has been asked already, but when we do being brohoof back, what version of minecraft will the server be on?

You have just donated a large sum of money to a server. You are truly an adult community.

You can still donate, The more money we get over that goal the longer Brohoof will stay up. So far we have the funds for 6 months at the regular server .... If we hit 2250 we get 6 months at the high level server, and any money after that is money to a 7th 8th and 9th month etc. Also during the 6 months we have the server up etc is six months we have to raise another 2225 Pounds for another 6 months!! Plenty of time seeing we reached are 1st milestone in less then 24 hours. Now we will have 6 months to get another 2225 pounds. to make a full year with Brohoof up.. so 4450Pounds a year and with you all helping that will be super easy.. Keep it up Everypony.
I am Happy to be apart of such a wonderful group.
The way you word it seems like brohoof is becoming a server dependent on other people's generosity to stay afloat. I 100% agree that brohoof is a wonderful community, but I feel like this might have future consequences if this keeps going. It may hold out for now, but EVENTUALLY (sometime in the distant future) the generosity will die down, unless everyone is rich and generous as rarity...
Then again, I can't really say much since ratty has been funding the server before the attacks... That was a more concentrated generosity from a smaller group, but spreading out to the community will have benefits and consequences.
I'm not in any way against bring back brohoof, as I am also quite excited, but if we don't find some permanent solution without much dependencies, this system will not last very long.

And to address concerns about us becoming dependent on donates. That, hopefully, shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm pretty sure we will find a more permanent solution to the problem before the six months are up. And any person who has the time to sit and wait for those six months to pass just to attack us again really needs to find a better hobby.

It FINALLY sees fit to finish my transaction, but by the time it finishes, 110 SEK is no longer about £10, but instead £9.99
(might just be my converters haven't uppdated but they still say 110 SEK is slightly above £10, so idk)
Debating if I should wait for the value to go down, do both of them in pieces (£5 and then £5), or just do another transaction

I'll have you know I earned all of the money in my account. :/ I have a freelancing job to earn money for savings and spending.
It's just that they still keep track of some of my banking, though, which annoys me. If I made it, I should be free to spend it how I see fit.
Ugh, my grammar is horrible today.

Brohoof is BACK
With their target reached in just over 10 hours of being live, and with a new specialist-hosting provider secured as a result, the Minecraft community of Brohoof.com is coming back with a vengeance!
Completely free to use, Brohoof users can now be safe in the knowledge that any future attacks on their community will be blocked, and that Brohoof will be protected.

Gonna have to speak with Micky about my £9.99 donation (PayPal derped the convertion)
and see if it can be counted as £10 (what I was going for)
If not, guess I am just redoing another transaction or something, but feels like such a chore to wait 2 days for what is essentially me transferring 1 penny

You are all wonderful people, thank you so much. This seemed like an impossible dream just a few short days ago, but now your generosity has given me so much hope for the future of Brohoof.
Don't feel you have to stop donating now we've reached the second target! Everything on top of the £2250 gives us more time we can keep the server running.
Now we know this is really happening, and exactly what we can get, we've already started working behind the scenes to make sure we have the best possible server ready for you when we come back.
