Wow, I get to work this morning, read the front page, and it looks like the world is falling apart. Then I come here, and it looks like the world has been saved! Man, I love this place! Everyone here is like a bunch of superheros, banding together to pull things through once again! Thanks to everyone!
I've sent my $50 through XRP. Put it to good use.

Wow...
Skip the site for a day or two and look what happens...
$50 sent in through XRP...looks like there should be enough to keep ENWorld running strong for a while and let Morrus sleep a bit easier at night.
I don't know if Morrus is a smoker, but I just have visions of Morrus sitting up all night - for many nights over the past several months - gnawing on his fingernails and chain-smoking cigarettes worrying over this. I agree with what many have already posted:
(1) You should have said something earlier, ya crazy limey
!
(2) Let's make it an annual event/charity auction/whatever to make sure the ENworld coffers stay funded as required.
(3) This is an awesome community. I don't post nearly as much as I did back in the old days (that's what 2 jobs, a crappy commute and a wonderful baby do to your time). But this is the best worldwide communtiy of roleplayers...hands down!

Well, I tossed in what I could over at Expeditious Retreat, so another $100 is on the way.
I do have a request, though...
Next time there is a need for money -- and I would gladly pay for a subscription to this place, donate regularly, whatever -- PLEASE make it better known.
I didn't notice the sticky thread at the top of the forums (I mostly lurk in the Story Hour and Playing the Game forums and just search for the threads I want.)
Use a banner ad. Make a pre-load screen. SOMETHING to really bring it to the attention of everyone. If it hadn't been for comments in Piratecat's Story Hour, I might have missed the crisis completely.
And next time, Morrus, don't let the situation get so dire. We love this site (obviously) and it should never be such a burden to you personally. This isn't your albatross -- it's the playground of all of us. Just let us know when you need a hand.
I think we've shown we'll be there to support the community.

Wow, I saw the headline and ran over to my PayPal account to send $20 to Eric. Then I see this thread and see how amazingly generous everyone has been - wow. It's so good to see all this.
I guess my chances of getting that Pozas artwork is getting pretty low.

p.s. since we're past the immediate need point, perhaps people just now seeing the thread should not be guided away from buying the Community Supporter accounts - since that money coming in 2 months will just help keep things flowing.
p.p.s. I guess the unfortunately thing is that the really big d20 people (i.e. WoTC and top-tier publishers) probably figure they don't need to buy advertising here since their products get so much attention already. It's that ad revenue that could be the ongoing and sustaining lifeblood for ENWorld.

I've just donated $50 through Exp Press. I mean, how are we supposed to promote Dark Legacies if this place is down? Cheers to you for a great site Morrus.
P.S. Even though RSP is located in Canada, I selected the $0 US Media Mail shipping option rather than the paid Canadian shipping option as I assumed there was no actual delivery being made.

Morrus...you have two choices.
Take the left door, and attempt to save EN World. But you will fail.
Take the right door, and reenter the source, where you will choose 23 members to repopulate the new EN World.
The choice belongs to you, just as it belonged to your five predecessors.
