hmm i'd sue for damages and what-not. . . The fact that microsoft did this severley annoys me... and I'm sure everyone else. I think the lesson learned here is to never trust them or make a deal with them in any way shape or form unless you want to be ruined by them. Just look at what they did to Bungie and Halo. . .

If money is realy the problem , why not charge $1 a month to access the forums.For most people $1 is NOT a lot of money. Heck it is less that the price of a soda or candy bar BUT 10,000 members at $1 a month = $10,000 a month!!!A dollar is a whole lot cheaper than what game banshee or ign charges per month for access.

Of course, there are a lot of people who sign up for one post ever, then leave, so your donations go down to maybe 1000-2000 regulars.

Too bad about the deal though Z.

What will I do with Escape Gaming? Hmmm.. I don't know yet. I was thinking of starting a separate gaming site, with games that are not RPG's... but I plan to do something like this on Ironworks anyway. So.... I don't know yet...

How about a site for those who don't like gaming?

That wouldn't be fair though, as there are a lot of younger members that don't have jobs, and don't have any money, would not be fair to deprive those just because of their financial situations.

I do agree though that there are THOUSANDS of members here, and those that are able to donate should, as it not only benefits them, but everyone else [img]smile.gif[/img]

Don't be sad, mr. webmaster. Better luck next time.
My family moved from one country to another. I stopped visiting ironworks for some time. I remember by that time, the dungeonsiege forum had just opened.I am glad I could get back again using the familiar and gracious name, ironworks.
