And Thanks to all that Donated this Month! Yet again, the Members saved Ironworks! Choc is going crazy!! He told me to say hi, and that he'll sniff some catnip for you all!

[T-D-C]

Woohoo CATNIP for all!

Sorry to cut it short however I only got paid on the 14th. had to pay the bills first and had some left over to keep the best forum (and mod) alive and kicking.

Sorry to ask this Ziroc, but there's one thing here that's been bugging me about this... While I can understand 200 dollars a month is quite a sum to fork up on your own, don't you have *any* reserves for just such an occasion that the donation requirements aren't met - even if it's just 30-50 dollars? I mean, if the future of IW depends solely on member kindness, maybe you should start thinking about a more structural and permanent solution to raise money, even if it means google ads or an alignment of sorts with a games company - not all of them use obtrusive popups/banners.
Because there's bound to be a month sooner or later in which the requirements *aren't* met - and without a buffer zone to deal with financial shortages or just plain bad luck (broken server etc), IW's future could be less certain than anyone here realises.

Z, I really like the meter. It's been a big help. With all the last minute donations, I hope you got a bit of a jump on next time, too. Continued good luck, man.
