Site to be shut down

adminabout 12 years ago

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.

He did it at least partially if not fully because he disliked Arcbell as admin plus how he responded to his threat
Agreed, I think he just needed a good excuse to do it.

Someone who could help support lucid's money weight with adsense gone?

Does Lucid not want to do a co-ownership with someone that he trusts?
No more buying talk, jesus.

Lucid will tell us what will happen, he will not just shut down the site immediately. I understand everyone is riled up but listen to Bumpers here.

No need to kill the optimism, every shred of hope counts.

lolwot, there is nothing "fair" about that post. Riot is a dirtbag. There is no excuse, there is no defense.

Funnily enough, lolwot, the examples Google gave included absolutely zero reference to them.

Lucid doesn't want to save the site anymore. He's exhausted and isn't willing to listen to us anymore.

All he has to do is switch to Adversal or Chitika and suddenly we're saved. No life-support donations (although we've already proven we have enough people willing to help support, and if BGO can do it we can too), no selling - just change of ad service.

But he's given up. This is his out.
How can you make this assumption from a single post of his? Maybe he's not replying here because he's busy IRL. If he was tired he wouldn't put so much effort into making so many mini games and improvements to this site.

This site is his baby. I highly doubt he's giving up willingly. Right now he has no choice with no other viable options.

And to think, a number of you are friends with the asshole who caused this.

And it wasn't even abc or petri.
TO BE FAIR i doubt he meant for it to go this far. I'm not defending his actions, because I still think it was wrong, but Riot has put a lot of time into this site too. Perhaps tone it down a bit. Spreading hate is not going to help anything.
What did he expect when reporting the site to adsense? Riot is a spiteful piece of shit that ruined the site because he was upset about Arcbell being an admin. Arcbell was bad, there is no question about that, but what Riot did was pure scummy and he's a horrible person for it.
Yeah, it sucks. I don't think he thought it through, I think he was just trying to make a point. He wanted to get Lucid's attention. Before you start making bitter posts about how much you hate someone and what a POS they are, maybe take a second, step away from the computer, and consider whether or not that will help anything. I doubt it makes you feel better, I doubt it makes ANYONE feel better. It doesn't fix anything. It's done. Now we have to fix it. Sucks.
To be fair, Riot did warn Arcbell to demod Howl before he reported the website. I don't think he did it because he disliked Arcbell. It was over the entire Howl not getting demodded drama because Howl's cyber PM's directly broke google's TOS.

Also if possible, a refund on all tokens would be very nice.
These are the emotional responces we don't need.

Until google tells us what they want nothing will help, they'll keep using excuses like right now

The traffic to this website would decline immediately, but would rebuild itself. Plus you have the added benefit of not losing the website.
Instead you recieve less income on a server plan that probably can't be reduced to match the reduction in finance as these things are done by contract.

It doesn't solve anything long term, which is where the important factor is.

For a bunch of "comp" EM players, you guys sure do suck at reading the signs.

i do think a clean sweep would probably be the way to go, but that does hurt the people who have spent money so far, just to lose the things they bought because of people being dicks
