P1999 is not.

The analogy does not work.

Wait... This entire server's existence is because of drummed up business. Sure, most of the advertising has been word of mouth, but Red 1999 got some actual ads run. In order to maintain a viable economy and a fun gaming experience we NEED new players to keep coming to P1999 because you will always have some attrition of the existing playerbase, for whatever reason. How do you think those people learn about P1999? Because we, the existing players are drumming up business by telling our friends and old guildies from Live about the server! And in all seriousness, running this server costs Rogean money each and every month. From electricity, to bandwidth, to hardware, and of course tons of his own time and effort. So drumming up business that might lead to more donations to offset his own personal costs of running this server for our amusement? That sounds like a business to me. Maybe a non-profit business, but a business nonetheless.
