Now subtract regular usage of 8 hours per day (about Ђ1 and you end up with an additional cost of Ђ34. for And that's just electricity.

You're forgetting that, the average PC with that kind of usage would make a decent server (as in decent CPU and RAM). Rent an actual server with comparable power and you'll also be paying that kind of money. That being said, parents who let their children leave their computers on at all times are not doing a very good job at parenting.

So many kids are starting up servers who have NO money. All these servers end up like crap there are thousands of servers the only people who should be starting them are dedicated leaders who have a small reserve of money to put into starting it all up, buying the hosting and domain.

Don't want to play on these servers? Just don't join them. It's only by making crappy servers that you can practice and maybe one day that crappy server will be become better or even good.
