HE SAID HE JUST NEEDS ONE MORE $600 DONATION IN 30 DAYS AND THEN HE WILL MOVE THE SITE TO A CHEAPER SERVER (AFTER THE NEXT PBS-STYLE FUND-DRIVE)

HE CAN'T MOVE IT RIGHT NOW BECAUSE VERY BUSY GETTING THE SITE BACK ONLINE AGAIN

Re: What's with Hungercity again?

I think anyone thinking of donating should send their $s to GE who can hold them til he sees things are working well and on the up and up.

Not forgiving the HC staff for his own transgressions is pretty sad. Likely, he'll come to his senses.

Shouldn't this thread be merged with the Fail thread in the lounge?

If I remember my history, now that the purge is complete, the next steps are controlling the press, redacting the record and photoshopping the May Day photo, am I forgetting anything?

No, having a doberman snap the head of your kitty is pretty sad.

What you speak of is just pettiness, (which plays so rough).

Rather than send $10 to a tracker, I suggest the KFC 6 piece bucket.
When was the last time you found a tracker finger lickin' good?

This is what happens when the owners of sites that supposed to be "free" get greedy.

Thumbs up Re: What's with Hungercity again?

As a now free man I will make my last comment on the whole subject that has at times been upsetting and at others very frustrating.

It actually feels good now to be free from it all. I can say that at all times during this circus the staff have tried to do the best they can in some very tricky circumstances. This may have only come to a head recently but things like this have been going on behind the scenes for a very long time. How we have managed to paper over the cracks for so long is a miracle.

Talking of miracles, how has the message on the Hungercity page gone from "Due To Poor Donations etc" to "The Server Payment To The Host Has Been Met"

Very sudden after only a couple of days, and right after all the staff resigned.

Hungercity will be back, but how long till it falls to bits.

My last thoughts on the subject

Probably realised things are seriously going bad for him so he decided to spend some of that "donation" money to actually get the site up and running again.

Bet that put a hole in his pocket...
