GM's don't get donations, The Server / Lapta does to help keep it running and lower his cost.
As for improving the game from us GM's / we hope to make it a better server and we do it because we want to (we Scorpio & me) help with implementing Quests and features. We don't get paid. So when you see my section of Quests / Features that are requested from the players, then you can see what I'm working on what's been done, what's been added to make the server better.
that thread is for My agenda only and I'm always communicating with Lapta (Jamie) about what is possible to add or not with the game.
GM Scorpio has his own stuff he works on in secret and also has FULL communication with Jamie, so there's a fair bit of background work going on even though you don't see it.
As for Jamie, having us work on such stuff gives him a bit of freedom to do his other administrative work, and relieves SOME stress
