Site to be shut down

admin 1h 47m+2

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.

The original Comp thread - drama is streaming live, if you have anything to add, jump on there or just post here!

If everyone who played EM every month donated 1-2$ every month, even that would be a start. Some of us could even donate more than that.




Paranay is going to donate 80$ a month. Is anyone going to top that?

You should probably email [email protected] and ask him if he would take payment from an alternate source like EFT or cheque.

I think some people have been provided with an address in the past to mail paper cheques.

I do wonder how much the site costs to keep active. If we just dropped comp lobby how much would it save every month??? :D

That's a good idea...in another thread they just had to ask HOW TO DO it (donate), because they didn't know it...

Lucid should really use a link or something for people to donate through. Make a donation banner at the top of the site, link it to Lucid's preferred way of donating and let people use credit cards or paypal or something to donate however much they want. If everyone who played EM every month donated 1-2$ every month, even that would be a start. Some of us could even donate more than that. It would at least take some pressure and expenses off of Lucid and help him afford to keep the site running longer than he can afford on his own. Someone also mentioned using a donation meter to show how much of the goal has been reached. If Lucid said how much was needed per month, used a method for people to donate, used a donation meter or some kind of indicator for how close we are to the set goal, that would at least help a little bit. If everyone helped with just 1$, those who are willing to give more can give more, then everyone contributes and helps keep the site alive. If you enjoy playing on EM and using the site more or less every day each month, 1$ isn't much to pay per month. No one can be forced to pay any amount, but it's something to think about. As for me, I could afford a little more and would be willing to donate some per month if that helps you, Lucid.

You should start a kickstarter I'm pretty sure people would donate, even people who don't use this site.
