Hoyle Sierra/Cases Ladder keep online site going
In February the long running online Hoyle community was in an uproar when it appeared contracts had run out and the site was in imminent danger of being shut down. There is background in the February 7th post I wrote. A decision has been made:
Cases Ladder is pleased to let everyone know that we’ve come up with a way to keep the site up and running.
For the month of March, everything will continue as-is.
Starting April 1st, in order to cover the costs of upcoming hardware migration, our bandwidth and overhead, we will need to collect a small yearly membership fee. With the economy where it is, we worked very hard to keep the yearly ante (membership fee) as little as possible.
If enough community members sign-up, we can make this work for less than $1.70 a month. Because of the way credit card companies bill us, we do need to collect the full year $20 membership at sign-up.
Membership will require a credit card. The announcement has been out 2 days and a vibrant community of over 3 thousand have viewed the decision.
