If you have to get moved to a server with 20 people on it, Brent states in his post that you’d need to pay $200. per month." That's what I though at first, but upon re-reading, it's pretty clear that he's saying HG only gets $200 total from those 20 people - so the people are still paying $10 a month EACH. In response to:

HOWEVER: Not sure if I read the point about what happens to over-users right! Seems like a very good option to me.... Cheers! I'll link here as part of our education programme!
