Yes, it is true. The site will be shutdown at the end of July unless extra funding is arranged to help keep the site operational. Since the site first began, all monthly bills have been paid out of pocket by myself or the former site owner. However, due to getting smacked with large medical bills over the past 8 months from a succession of health issues and blindsided by an unexpected change in our mortgage payment for this month, it simply isn't possible for me to do it myself any longer.
On the positive side, the financial needs are under $1000 for an entire year's needs. But, in order to even come close to this, people need to be aware of this dilemma and be willing to help out. Hence my plea here.
I realize that not everyone who frequents EN World visits the d20 Magazine Rack, and more than a few here either don't care or would even be happy to see the site fail completely, but I wanted to at least try to make folks aware of our problems and hopefully tap into a little bit of the same vein of caring that saved EN World not too long ago. There is a lot that the site offers the roleplaying community and it would be a loss to see it all vanish into the void.
If you do wish to help out with a donation, there is a Paypal donation button on the main page of the d20 Magazine Rack site or you can email me at creech[at]dragonwing[dot]net for my address if you would rather mail a check or money order.
Thanks for listening and my heartfelt gratitude to those that do extend us financial help in this crisis.
Update: Congratulations are in order! So far, $1597 has been donated. Our target goal was $1000.
