    We'll try to close that gap with ads before begging

    How much is the shortfall? I suspect a number of people would make a small contribution than see ads

    Not much. It still comes out of @Kirwan 's account.. He'll have the exact number

    As for ads, anyone who donates won't see them. Will probably have 'awards' to remove ads too.. top 3 of the tipping contest, write quality posts, do good match commentary etc etc

              Thanks @nzzp, beat me to posting the link. And the support is much apprectiated.

              I think the plan is if you donate, no ads. Duluth may throw in other toys, we'll see what's available

                    Patreon doesn’t allow for one offs, but this is all linked to my PayPal so I can DM that to you?

                    I’ll make sure Duluth includes you in contributing list.

                      Yes

                      Also, if we cover costs without ads there'll be none for anyone.

                        Some of you might be interested in this:

                        Screenshot 2024-05-14 at 1.53.22 PM.png

                        Page views by people logged in is the red line. The other line is all the other page views

                        There's always a lot more people reading than bothering to create an account etc. However this is extreme. The red line is meaningless because it so much smaller

                        We had huge traffic during the RWC, then dropped back to the regular December numbers. Sometime in January we suddenly got 20million more page views a month.

                        On May 8th we got another load of bot traffic that's what killed the CPU

                        A few tweaks and it's dropped to a level the CPUs can handle. Still need to do a few things to get it back to normal though

                            Likewise. $9/month is great value to be able to wind up the Shield Snorters once in a while.

                              This place has more sporting analysis than three main stream media. It shouldn't be like that but it is

                                  Sadly for you lot there's no one left here to wind up aside from me and I find the moral high ground claiming to be as hilarious as you find the winding up.

                                  I'm happy to make non Patreon donation, but weary of Patreon as I signed up originally and money left my account but didn't go to the Fern, then when I queried Patreon they claimed it was because I was Oz registered but on NZ card and took me ages to refund my money. @Kirwan Does the Paypal link require a paypal account? If it does can I direct transfer to your bank?

                                  Maybe I'll tie my donation to the removal of the "Shield Snorters" on behalf of my fellow Bay peeps. πŸ˜‰

                                      Page views by people logged in is the red line. The other line is all the other page views

                                      There's always a lot more people reading than bothering to create an account etc. However this is extreme. The red line is meaningless because it so much smaller

                                      We had huge traffic during the RWC, then dropped back to the regular December numbers. Sometime in January we suddenly got 20million more page views a month.

                                      On May 8th we got another load of bot traffic that's what killed the CPU

                                      A few tweaks and it's dropped to a level the CPUs can handle. Still need to do a few things to get it back to normal though

                                        Big thanks to those that are still on Patreon, much appreciated.

                                        Just updated my contribution to two coffees/month. Come on Ferners, dip in and support. Keep ads away πŸ™‚

                                        Likewise. $9/month is great value to be able to wind up the Shield Snorters once in a while.

                                        Sadly for you lot there's no one left here to wind up aside from me and I find the moral high ground claiming to be as hilarious as you find the winding up.

                                        I'm happy to make non Patreon donation, but weary of Patreon as I signed up originally and money left my account but didn't go to the Fern, then when I queried Patreon they claimed it was because I was Oz registered but on NZ card and took me ages to refund my money. @Kirwan Does the Paypal link require a paypal account? If it does can I direct transfer to your bank?

                                        Maybe I'll tie my donation to the removal of the "Shield Snorters" on behalf of my fellow Bay peeps. πŸ˜‰

                                          @Duluth thanks for sharing, and nice work figuring out and fixing the issue. It's a fast changing landscape at the moment.
