Site to be shut down

over 10 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.

Selling the site would be a horrible idea if you want updates and bug fixes later on.


Selling the site would be the most profitable for lucid if it's that or shutting down, however.

Although for epicmafia people, the site won't be the same like you said

there has got to be ads somewhere else!


There are, but adsense is by far the largest payout. Lucid would only receive a 10th of what he gets with adsense. But other options are:

Kontera
Chitika
Tribal Fusion

What if you just removed the forums? We don't truly need forums, at least not for games lobby.
