Hi all,
A while ago I was contacted by Jeff, the owner of ShowRabbits.com and other online games focused on breeding and showing animals. He has found RT to be very useful in developing his game, and wished to give something back in the form of a donation. This wasn't just any donation though, this is a big one that will offset most of our running costs for the next year! We were blown away by his generosity, and gratefully accepted. In return, we're providing the banner ad on the homepage that I'm sure you've seen by now. I hope this helps him to grow his site further.
To Jeff, I want to express our sincerest thanks and appreciation for your help! I'm sure all of our members feel the same. We've got a great community here, and it's a real pleasure to see it able to flourish. There is also a current thread [here] where people are talking about your game, and asking some questions. If you would like to engage them and talk about your site, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
:thankyou: :greatjob: :thankyou:
To everyone, please consider checking out ShowRabbits.com, maybe suggesting it to a friend, or mentioning it on social media. Even if it's not the kind of game for you, I think we can agree that it's pretty cool to see original, non-violent games being produced. I think it's a good thing to encourage.
Changes to our donation plan.
Starting in January, instead of having a large annual goal for our donations, I will be changing it to show a small monthly goal instead. Any donations we receive that exceed our running costs will be saved as a buffer for emergencies (for instance if we had to change hosts again), for upgrades and improvements to the site or the server it's on, and if unused for that, will be used for our 2016 costs. Jeff's generous donation has taken the pressure off us, which is wonderful, but we intend to try to plan ahead and be prepared to keep things stable in the long term as well.
We would also like to take this chance to thank everyone who has donated to RT so far. You've all been wonderfully generous, and it has helped us so much to provide a good, stable site for you and our community. Thank you for your understanding when we moved to our current host, and helping us to overcome that crisis! Thanks also for all the help since then.
:thankyou: :grouphug2: :thankyou:
A technical footnote about the banner ad itself:
In keeping with my strict use of ads on RT, it's a simple banner that is hosted on RabbitTalk, without any scripting or flash, so you needn't worry about blocking it or having RT show anything unseemly (like sometimes happens when using third party ad distribution services).

So, I'll second your THANK YOU. It looked like an interesting game to me.
