Alright, HLP needs YOU.  We're basically out of funds in the PayPal account (we've got $1.72 in there), which means that if the check for the banner ad income either isn't sufficient to cover the monthly server cost, or is late in arriving at its destination, there's no reserve money to keep the server running. So, I humbly request that if you can spare some cash, you do so with the utmost haste. Donate here. Please? Pwetty pwease??Thank you! |

$1.72?
You could have warned us before...is there a way to monitor the amount of money?
Is it possible to donate money from here? As far as I know, PayPal works for everything.

Not sure... you'd have to ask MatthewPapa about that. We're sharing a dedicated server with GameWarden. The main strain is actually not on bandwidth of server space, but on CPU cycles. The forums are VERY active and demanding.

I hate to be this way, but.
How much do you have in ad revenue? I know adsense lets you check.
Here, have 10 bucks, regardless.

The ad revenue goes to MP; last I heard from him, it was around $60-70/month. The problem is, sometimes the check from Google doesn't get there in time, since they only send it if the income has passed $100, and then only on a certain date of the month. So if we get $70 income in March, for example, and the check is potentially sent on the 5th of the following month, April, then unless the remaining $30 came in in those 5 days, the check will not be sent until the next 5th of the month, in May (presuming that by then the ad income has passed $100). Ergo, we need a fallback cache of funds for when "the check's in the mail".  |
