Yes sir.
Also, this private server followed the path which NuclearSilo really well described.
Advertise -> Accept Donations -> Code -> Accept Donations -> Delay -> Open server
When it should be
Code -> Open Server -> Test -> Advertise.
Basically, they had so many of us on a string for so long.

I disagree. Fake would imply that they never actually planned to finish this whole project. That they just worked on it to fool everyone else, but that's definitely just not true. Do you really think they would waste their time on coding and actually improving the server significantly, if they didn't intend to finish it anyway? Well, i don't think so. They did their best to finish the project, but in the end it just turned out, that it just wasn't good enough in the end. They did a great job and as stated before, you can't really blame them for trying out something new, even if it turned out as fail in the end. Without trying new things and taking the risk of failing, there wouldn't be any progress.
Btw, as far as i know, they didn't even take much donations actually and the servers, forums, IRC, etc. aren't for free either. If they would want to earn lots of money, they could just take the old crappy server files of ECSRO, SWSRO, etc. and put up their own server, but they didn't do that. Why would they take the hard way of fixing all bugs on an emulated server, if they could just take the old, but working server files and put up a server with almost no efforts? I guess the main motivation for this server wasn't really to earn money with it, they were rather trying to make a server, where people could play this game, as it was actually meant to be, without being disturbed by bots or plevels. Anyway i guess it's useless to argue about that with you guys, as you don't seem to understand my point anyway.
Even though it wasn't succesfull in the end, it was at least worth trying to code such a server.
