Hey guys, I am currently running quite a successful ttt server, and would like to give something back to my donators, I currently have Pointshop installed and give them points for items in the shop and also access to a pre-round weapon loadout. I find this not enough and want to give more to my donators, can any of you beautiful people recommend some addons that people who donate would love?
give them a hug. don't put on too many addons on your server that donators can have but players can't.

Yeah but.. I see some other servers other than mine, and they are packed with features that nearly made me donate :P
Give them all godmode.

But it ruins the fun for normal players and it's turning you server into a service, rather than a cool and awesome community thing.
People !donate! towards you because they like what you're doing and want to keep the server up, not because they want shitty addons that ruin the competitiveness of ttt.
If people donate solely to get some kind bonus (like a f2p basically) they probably have some kind of down and asperger syndrome.
My servers donation reward: "I won't shut down the server when the billing cycle ends."
I've made over $200.

That's not a donation, that's buying a service.
Also, pre-round loadout? you think there might be a reason why weapons in the vanilla maps are somewhat scarce? Actually nah, he probably just forgot to lump up a million guns at spawn.
Ideally, a server would be ran by somebody who can sustain it themselves quite easily while giving very minimal features to donators, maybe a donator badge and title on the forums, and then the donations are just "oh, cool, I only have to pay 20$ for my 50$ server this month".

The whole pre-round loadout hate is kinda silly. If anything it's making the game easier for non-donators due to the donators not grabbing guns. That's my view on it at least. I try to give visual stuff to donators such as not to give them any real advantage. So basically offer them fluff and they will eat it up.
Also, that $50 can turn into a $100 if you open another server, your community can't really expand unless you put some serious dough in it OR you get lotsa donations.
Please don't have pay to be traitor or pay to be detective. Those are awful.

50$ gets you a pretty size-able server, 100$ gets you two pretty big servers, you can easily squeeze donations out of that many people.
on NFO you get 50 slots, let's say you fill 80% on each on average, 80 players. Overtime you'll also gain some regular players who are willing to give you more when you start screaming "MONAY PLS OR NO SERVER"
