We will see it on the end of January, when we see the actual numbers and if our traffic-saving methodes work out.

But the traffic saving methods are only a temporary help if the warp grows that much it do atm.

The mainproblem is, that especially the adfirms pay with 3 - 4 months delay and so we have to prefinance all.

And the costs are to high, for this money I could get a good credit from my bank to pay the monthly rates for a house.

Remember that W2s is made by two computer geeks and not by a professional company who could easily run and pay a site like this. And Peter (Rancho*) is not able to pay his part of the site caused of his small income and so I have to cover all atm and this is to much.

What we really would need is a trustfully sponsor or 3 - 4 companies who would advertise on the site.
But this is hard to find find at the moment caused of the bad world wide economical situation atm.

Shure I could put 3 - 4 pops on the site like other sites do but this would not work out.

I am not happy and my heart will break if we have to close the site but I have to save myself first before I can spend money to an expensive hobby like this.

Btw, in which forums you read about the issue we have?

Hope the best
Niels

:evil: :evil: NO FU***NG WARP2SEARCH!!!!!!!!!!! This is too much :evil: :evil:

I will personally guarantee a pledge of £10.00 by creditcard / switch to help keep W2S afloat and I honestly feel that many others will do the same and give what they can afford.

This is far too valuable an asset to lose. We should all be grateful to the GEEKS among us who take the time and effort to bring us this superb site.

This is my feeling anyway and if a payment method can be set up then you can count me IN!!
