This is the situation... The main website is now bordering on closure. Last month, the shortest month of the year, I recieved a bill for my hosting 3 TIMES what it should have been! When I started the site back in November I expected to pay every month with no outside help, but that was when there where only a couple of hundred people visiting on a regular basis... Now, bringing things upto date, I recieve 7,000 page views EACH AND EVERY DAY! On the one hand, I'm pleased that my site has gone some way to help the Halo CE community and maybe even brought a few more players in, but on the other, it gets to me that even after all this time, I have not seen any donations whatsoever... not a cent/penny!

I'm not prepared to pay any more money than I already am, and believe me, I'm not really in the position to be paying ANYTHING at all, but I love Halo CE... which is why I'm fighting closure.

I don't know about you, but I don't want to see my site dissapear. Not just because it's my creation... even if it WASN'T anything to do with me, this has got to be one of the best Halo CE websites around, not to mention one of the fastest, all with no memberships...

I really, really need some help. I wouldn't be posting this if there wasn't a serious problem that's threatening to close the site.

It's make or break time...

You cant't do more than your best.
It sounds like it's break time for you ( I don't think any one will donate ANY money )
You did a great thing with the site though
Il look what i can do.

I really appreciate any help I recieve, and I'm not prepared to give up just yet... I feel that there is still a chance, but it's own popularity is killing it...

What to do...

Don't you run your own CE server from time to time? I think I may have been in it once or twice.... In anycase your name looks really familiar. I personally don't even have enough money to pay the internet bill this month.... only a matter of time before it's gone... but I'll get in touch with everyone I know to see if any of my friends are willing to help you out

Don't you run your own CE server from time to time?

I do sometimes, yes, but I don't bother leaving it running all the time anymore. I only really use it now for private purposes, but if I'm in a good mood I leave it up for a while when we've finished...

In anycase your name looks really familiar.

It is quite possible that you know my name... I get around a bit.

...but I'll get in touch with everyone I know to see if any of my friends are willing to help you out.

Anything would help... I know I'm not going to get any donations from people within the Halo CE community, and I would be a fool to think that I would be able to support my site from the generosity of other CE gamers ( ... ), but there are other ways. It's just that no one wants to play ball...

Thanks for at least taking the time to read this...

I don't intend to make any hasty decisions for one main reason... I don't like to be beaten!

Let's see what happens...

Stfu idryll. Do you even play CE? Muffmeisters site is one of the best around. And muffmeister if I go in and click on every add of every page how will that help? I'll do it every day 2 times a day if it helps keep the site up but will it help?

I'm really suprised! I didn't think many people would bother replying...

I have put a temporary fix in place for now, so you won't see me going anywhere just yet... to the dissapointment of some :)

After a good response like this, how could I close the site?...
