I see. I trust that Mahz's reasons are good and understandable, but I hope that crowdfunding isn't a concept that has been permanently buried. In regards to ad-blocker, I didn't imagine it would affect the servers but I'm aware they [i]can[/i] affect the revenue that the ads bring in. 

And thanks for sharing the news. I actually happened to have spotted it straight after posting this! Still, I hope this thread provides opportunities to discuss other matters too. I'm sure servers aren't (or won't be) the only problems that present themselves to the guild.
