Before I get flamed to death for proposing that wL accept donations, hear me out. By keeping some of the more "desirable" models exclusive, we encourage people to contribute to the community by being an active member and possibly contributing monetary support. It's a subtle way to expand the membership of wL while keeping gameplay balanced. You'd be surprised at how many people are willing to donate $5 or $10 or more just to use custom models. In fact, I have already proposed giving donor benefits across all wL servers that grants the ability to buy the opposite team's weapons, extra /ab per half, reserved slot, possible automatic teamswitch on command, possibly a custom model (that does not deviate too far from the regular CS:S models), etc. There are certainly ways to implement donor benefits as an incentive for people to get involved and contribute in the community without compromising fairness. Admin applications, as always, will not be reviewed on the basis of donations.

It worked out in other communities. Let's hope the same here. Also, I would like to suggest you to add VIP Members. VIP Members would be top10 players ONLY. I've seen this in other communities and I think it's a good idea.
