We don't need petitions to bring back AS. This petition could get 100,000 names, but it wouldn't change the fiscal reality of the situation. Servers, especially reliable ones in AS, aren't cheap.
We need people who are willing to pay to keep AS financially feasible month to month. Maybe instead of a list of names, you should have a list of names and the amount of money they'd be willing to donate month after month for AS servers; if it comes close to the monthly operational costs, then maybe it's worth considering. And even then, we'd need to see who will actually donate what they promised.
