Ziroc - I have to echo the concerns of Aelia Jusa (from the other thread, I think) and other members. It's been well over 2 years since IW started depending on regular donations from members to keep it running. There have been numerous discussions and dozens of ideas on how to solve the financial problems on a more permanent basis. Yet, here we are 2 years later, still depending on the monthly passing of the hat. I understand you are in a tough situation and I know all too well how quickly medical bills can stack up when you have a chronic condition.

But the problem seems to be that IW has basically taken on a life of it's own and grown beyond anybody's wildest expectations. I dare say it is the largest gaming forum on the internet now. Because of that, it has to be thought about differently.

I'm not trying to "bust your chops" or come down on you too hard. Believe me, I know how tough a situation like yours can be. And I will freely admit that I'm not in a position to support IW right now even if some of the aforementioned solutions were in place. All I'm suggesting is that it seems to be way past time to be looking at different options.

Reeka - I am very sorry to hear you don't feel welcome here anymore. I am shocked that somebody here has a personal vendetta against you and I can't believe that nobody was aware of the "hate campaign" they were conducting agianst you. I know I certainly never saw anything to suggest that, and as you have seen, there are plenty of people here that would have come to your support had it been known this was going on. I certainly hope the issue gets resolved quickly and that you feel like you can post here again when it is over.
