As many have mentioned here: There is still a lot of work!!!! And with the knowledge that MTS2 will exist as long as the last will leave the sinking ship we can go on with our work. But this is a good place to say thanks: Thanks to DELPHY, thanks to the ADMINS, thanks to the CREATORS, thanks to the DOWNLOADERS, thanks to the VISITORS, thanks to the DONATORS................. I say thanks for the done in the past, but in first way i say thanks for doing in FUTURE!!!

But seriously, I'm more than happy to donate - should have done it a long time ago really. *looks bashful and shuffles feet*

I'm fairly new to Sims 2, so not bored of it yet, and will continue to support fansites for as long as they continue...

All good things come to an end, but we have MTS3 to look forward to, maybe????

I temporarily enabled the banner for everybody, since there are quite a few people who donated last time and who want to donate again. Inge, no thats not weird. The Make a donation button in the Donation Drive banner only allows you to donate $5. If you want to donate more, you can use the button on the actual Donate page itself.

Townieforsims Test Subject Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 37 Thanks: 222 in 4 Posts 4 Achievements	I would like to donate but my parents won't let me. It's a "waste" of money supposedly! What would they know, both of them think the Sims 2 is a virtual dollhouse and take the mickey out of me for playing it! I'd say I'll donate when I'm 18 but thats 4 years away so by that time I'll be playing the Sims 3! (Maybe 4? - Who knows) So all I can say is sorry. But I'll always support this site in my heart. Shame bandwith doesn't run on loyalty.

What on earth are you talking about? MTS2 has never been a paysite and never will be one. If we (or rather, I) can't pay for the servers, either through donation drives like this one, or through ad revenue, then simply put the site will shut down.

Everything on MTS2 is free and always has been... I suggest you go back and read the mission statement and, well, everybody else in the entire community knows that MTS2 is the largest free Sims 2 site... so I have no idea where you got the idea we where or where going to be pay...

Colour me confused.
