he should probably make someone an admin to run the day to day stuff while he's gone, mod's only have so much power.

Its like he doesn't care, he says he doesn't even play games anymore but he made a cool site then he is just going to let it die. Makes no sense to me.

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that Jackson doesn't care, he is probably busy, as happens when you progress with life.

Thats not an excuse and I have a life, a job and kids but I still get things done that needs to be done. I donated $50 and I know of others who have donated the same or more so some care should go into this thats all I'm saying.

When Jackson made this site, he was in Jr High or had just started high school. He's now no longer into gaming, but he is still interested in the programming part of the site. I don't want to speak for him, but over the last year or so, site traffic has declined and maybe there just has been less reason for him to be on. I believe he will continue to maintain it as needed, and hopefully when he sees the site is growing again, he'll become more active. Remember though, summer is a slow time on here, and very busy for a college student! :)

I'm not hating, I just wish he would allow someone he trust to make changes if he has to be away.

It's not a bad idea, there used to be admins I believe. Unfortunately, they've moved on.

Whoa there buckaroo....I never said you didn't have a life....I am pretty sure we all have our own list of things to accomplish....I was merely pointing out that at the moment he might have more pressing matters.....it's not like he doesn't come around he was just upgrading the server back in June......I can understand your dismay over donating, and not seeing "progress", but it might be more advantageous for you to contact him with this matter over a pm or an e-mail...........

Not at all...just attempting to point out that things come up as is the course of life.....nobody knows the time-constraints nor priorities of another person.....

It should be noted that a good part of the donations made to the site are likely spent for using and/or upgrading the server.

Maybe site traffic has slowed down some because nothing is ever being done to improve the site though It's just very frustrating that people come up with great ideas, everyone wants them to happen, but no one can do anything about it. If Jackson is so busy that he can't even log in long enough to check messages and send replys then we are all wasting our time even giving suggestions and donations.
Edit : Perfect example, I know people have brought up the signature gamercards not updating properly, check mine out

I understand why you would feel frustrated, however site traffic was declining long before this summer.
As for the rest, donations go toward server maintenance and ensure the site remains up and running. I'm sure when Jackson is looking for ideas for the site, he'll check out all the suggestions as well... But remember- site consensus doesn't guarantee implementation.
