Because not everyone here visits General Discussions, I'm posting to let everyone know that Z is making a serious, for-real, IWF-in-danger-of-shutting-down, request for donations. He has a thread on the GD forum I encourage you all to read.

<font color="gold">A very good idea posting this thread, TL. Perhaps we can have Dundee sticky it until things get better for Ziroc. [img]smile.gif[/img] After all, this place wouldn't excist if it weren't for him, and he pays all of this himself. [img]smile.gif[/img]

A direct link to the specific thread:
Ironworks Needs help guys! -- Donations :-(</font>

Update, Ziroc has managed to meet his servers' bill so Ironworks live. Kudos to all those who could afford to donate, a big thank you to you all. [img]smile.gif[/img]

How high are those bills anyway? There is 11728 members here, at least a few hundreds visit the place frequently. If each one donated a $...

Appearances can be deceiving. There may be thousands of registered members, but only a few dozen are regular visitors( visit at least once every two days or so).

Most are temporary members, often asking one question then leaving, or sticking around only for a few weeks. Then there is the issue of not everybody has a credit/debit card, or have readily available excess cash.

<font color=white> I'm one of those members that visisted IW every single day (like a lot of people), but I can't transferr any oversees money because I'm under aged and my mom won't do it for me (she rather saw this forum go down so I can concetrate on my school works [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] )

When I turn 18, I'll send a buck-load of money to Ziroc ;) </font>
