What's with Hungercity again?

[Progfan2112]

According to the PM I received-and probably the same one that everyone else received-only 20% of the funds needed for running costs of the month of July have been met. I'd be surprised if HC is around much longer...

Something is not right....90% of all torrents are recycled, one of the finest seeders at the site just deleted close to 100 torrents from the tracker http://www.hungercity.org/log.php
and even one of the Hunger City "founders" is coming here to bitch about our member's bad ratios (while HC sells ratio for donations). Members also received news that January bills must be payed before Christmas - or the place will shut it's doors. What about Johnny's red wagon, and Cindy's doll house?

Is this tied into the ABC News story "2012 End-of-the-World Countdown Based on Mayan Calendar Starts Today" ?

Merry Christmas?

Can't they pass the "Temporary Karma Point extension bill" before the winter recess? I mean, seriously...Christmas puts a pinch on most people's wallets.

Nah, they'll let it ride, then start up the Blame Game.

Karma points are not for $$$$$ but for seeding.

You get upload credits for $$$$$$$$$$

That's not completely true. It's an added incentive for this pledge drive:

** EXTRA KARMA POINTS ADDED SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS **
$10.00 Donated = 15.0GB + (400 Points) ---|--- $15.00 Donated = 25.0GB + (800 Points) ---|--- $20.00 Donated = 40.0GB + (1500 Points)
$30.00 Donated = 70.0GB + (2400 Points) ---|--- $40.00 Donated = 100.0GB + (3500 Points) ---|--- $50.00 Donated = 150.0GB + (5200 Points)
$80.00 Donated =300.0GB + (7000 Points) ---|--- $100.00 Donated = 400.0GB + (12000 Points)
