Off topic, who owns/runs the servers here and how does it make money? I'm new I'm curious.
The host of the instance owns/runs the server for any instance. There is no money to be made. The servers stay up because people donated or the instance owners paid for it.
Edit: the right way of saying it is.. the instances, at least the bigger ones, are crowd-funded.
I've been doing some reading. I love things that go back to the idea of old internet mentality.
This is the way.
