Excess funds go into an emergency pool. In case I lose my job, or we don't get any donations, we want to be able to operate. AM is non-profit and the extra funds never go to me, however, I will expense things for SourceMod developers (such as games we need to support). Anyway, we don't make enough extra money that it would be meaningful to take from the cookie jar ;)

I don't know why, but ok. No one ever said the donation
goal precisely matched our expenses. It's a round number that I felt was likely to be met without asking too much of the community, while still paying a decent chunk of our bills. Keep in mind we've historically had advertising as well, but we get less than our donation goal from that and combined they don't meet our expenses.

No.
I will say that fixed costs are about $380/mo right now, as part of our infrastructure revamping we're looking into making a bigger up-front investment to bring this down.
