Site to be shut down

admin
almost 11 years

Unfortunately, Google decided to shut down the Adsense anyhow. I've asked for an appeal, but if they do not reply by the end of the month, I will be shutting down the site. Thanks for the good times, but I suppose it's time for me to move on.

I'm sure Riot didn't expect this to happen and just wanted Arcbell to be gone in first place, to be fair in first place, even though it was a terrible move to do in first place

Desperate measures call desperate moments, google is just spilling up bullshit and doesn't have any real reasoning pretty sure. The staff worked hard to clean up all the shit and they still decide to do this. Bullshit.

I hope Riot's happy. He literally out of his way to ruin a site for thousands of people just because he's upset.


That was his point.

Hopefully Google will accept the appeal and that won't be needed, however.


Will ad serving always be re-enabled after I appeal?

In many cases, our decision is final, and this will be mentioned in your notification email. However, in some cases, if you are able to make appropriate changes to bring your site into compliance, we may re-enable ad serving to your site. Please keep in mind that this is not possible for all cases.

Once you have made changes to your site, please contact us and our specialists will review your updated site. When making changes, please note that the URL mentioned in your notification may be just one example; appropriate changes must be made across your entire website before we can consider re-enabling ad serving to your site.

Also I am confused about this. We did clean up the site. If google is mad about the things that happened before the clean up then we can just start fresh with a new name.

Lucid, instead of shutting down the site, how about you charge us for our accounts. If you can get enough from us to keep the site running, then you will not need the advertisements. Ask all the users who are willing to pay. We can give an assurance by paying out an initial amount. If it does not work out then you can return the money. We all know nobody is running away with out money. We have enough users to pay I think. If you do not get enough users to pay then you can shut the site down.

PS: *&*&** Riot. You ruined everything for me.

PPS: what if I buy the site. How much are you willing to sell it for.


How much do U have

If the RP community is made aware of the situation, them + the comp players could probably keep the site alive on a donation model ala several other sites (bgo, mynoises, etc.). Hopefully Google will accept the appeal and that won't be needed, however.

We need a second statement. A clarification, of sorts.
