probably you are right, iirc the fundraising campaigns usually announced in april, so i guess it is no more financed

(btw. our situation is very good, this server is cheap and our gracious players and forum visitors donated enough money, i'll update the related thread tomorrow)

anyway, it was expected, but still i'm a bit sad :( it was so much fun to be a member on jp's forums

Many players have invested a lot of time and work in the forum (and in the game) and now everything is gone in one fell swoop. I especially mourn for the many helpful and entertaining AARs from the CCs - this information is irreplaceable and our CC archives will remain empty for a long time.

@Csaba: good music selection - Sentenced was one of my favorite bands from Finland many years ago. Unfortunately, they have not been active since 2005. Everything has an end.

That banner is funny. Many many moons ago, Builders Paradise was the hangout for the 'liberal' Europeans where this banner would be perfectly fine. At the same time, JP's was dominated by more 'religeous' and 'conservative' Americans who would never allow a banner like this to be used. I still have a few of the Builders Paradise banners made by (IIRC) Inspector and have used a few modified ones for CCCs after rules on JP became less strict.
