This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Thanks guys. You brought us to exactly 666 dollars. I am going to call that fate and call an end to the fundraiser. Once again thanks to everyone who contributed.

If you can't raise $120/a in ad sales, running a web site might not be for you.
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

Thank you for this very useful contribution. And how much did you donate, or were you just here to shit on the whole thing?

I want to thank absolutely everyone who contributed, and fortunately that means we won't need to do this again for another couple of years!

If a street kid begs me for $2 so he can take the bus home, and he's wearing $600 Doc Martens and a new-ish leather jacket, I question how much he really needs the kindness of strangers.

Clearly enough people here are fans of the RPGPundit clown-persona to pay your hosting bills; lovely. Marvelous.  Capitalism in action.

But ten whole dollars a month, man.  If you can't generate that with ad impressions you're not even trying.  And if He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named behind the RPGPundit clown-persona doesn't have enough of a real job to absorb the 33 cents a day it costs to run theRPGSite, then maybe being a web entrepreneur isn't the right hobby.

If there weren't enough people genuinely interested (clearly, unlike yourself) in this site and what it offers the gaming hobby to make the hosting self-sustaining, then theRPGsite wouldn't deserve to exist. It would be a vanity project, while this and all the other rapidly-successful fundraisers prove it isn't.

Luckily, you and your kind continue to fail and I and mine continue to succeed.

You had the good sense or good luck (not sure which) to avoid posting your garbage until after the fundraising campaign was finished; so this forgives you from sanction. But seriously, if this is such a shitty website and I'm such a shitty website owner, what on earth brings you here to write an awful lot of posts?

Other than to remind everyone yet again of just how badly you lose, and I win, that is.

I just looked upthread and saw it was successful. I somehow missed that when it was posted a couple of months ago.
