What was Racerplanet again? It's just the host of NFSGarage, NFSCheats, TotalNFS, and many other NFS- and even non NFS-related websites; just click the link on the right to see the whole network on Racerplanets main page.

Well, you always hope that it won't have to come to this, but unfortunately, Racerplanet hasn't been doing too wel financially lately. As has been explained in the discussions concerning the pop-up ads (how we wish we could do without them...), keeping the servers up is costing more than all the advertising is bringing in. =(
On top of that, the host has become a lot more strict when it comes to exceeding bandwith; Racerplanet is generating a lot of that by offering many game demos and even more NFS add-ons on the many, many sites we are currently hosting.
It has reached the point where your help is necessary to keep the place going. Josh has used up just about all his personal reserves, and while he is looking for a solution to deal with the bandwith costs, everyone who supports Racerplanet and all its hosted sites is invited to contribute what he or she can miss.

Josh has set up a Paypal Donations page here.

Do it now, and save our staffers from the embarassement of having to follow the 'Full Monty' option to keep us afloat... if only I were joking. :-p

Yeah, I once tried that too... It's pretty cool, truth be told, while there were a lot more cars and downloads, there was also a lot more flaming going on - that is something I don't miss. :-/

Dodge Boy: I have no idea what one site costs, but the servers that all the hosted sites are on, cost about 300 us$ a month. And the advertisements just don't pay enough to cover all that.
These donations can't really be a long-time solution, Josh is currently looking at what can be done about the bandwith costs.
