Well everyone, it is with great sadness that i post this message. But i feel that i owe you,and my writers this post. Here are the facts... In November ENN had 35,000 page views, and 20,071 visitors. In November ENN received 15$, and 0 isk in donations, yes that's correct, 0 isk. So, i may not come as a shock to you that i post this.
The coffers are dry, my entire EVE savings has gone to paying the writers for November. Please , Please if you value ENN, Donate.. If more than two weeks pass and i am not able to gain any funding, im sorry to say ENN will cease to exist as you have come to know it... Please dont let it come to that.
If you are interested in helping us stay afloat please send isk to "Serious Sally" ingame. ENN's future depends on you...
Our Fate is in your hands, The ENN Staff
PS- If each visitor from November donated just Between 5 and 10 million isk each, we could survive 2008 AND 2009... just a thought... - - - - - - -

Much sadness to hear this, hope you find something, although this will probably be locked soon under the "no begging" guidelines.

Looks like a news aggregator that apparently also pays people to write columns.

100,000,000,000.00 isk if the 20000 visitors had donated 5 mil each. Expensive site to run I take it?

You could, erm, you know, create and place CCP/ShatteredCrystal affiliate links for EVE signups and GTC purchases... IIRC every affiliate singup going to subscription status means 7$, and at least 1$ per GTC referral or somesuch... it's not exactly rocket science, and there's directions on how to do it around *points randomly* somewhere 
_ Create a character || Fit a ship || Get some ISK |

For now, I suggest the following:
1- Find good writers who'll work for free (not impossible) 2- When you have isk, invest it so it can become self-sustaining

If people like what you do, then people will donate ISKies... If they don't, or simply don't care, then they won't.
It's THAT simple.
A better idea would have been to ask us what we'd prefer seeing in your project, and going on a couple of the posts here, this conjecture is proven right. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PROPOSAL: Chaos Incarnate's Face MMORPG: Many Men Online Role Playing Girls |

Some isk should be arriving soon.
I want to point out some stuff I don't like about the ENN page.
- The "featured images" apparantly is given more importance than the articles, and it seems very wrong. Surely the articles should be places right below the flip-thing on the top of the page. Also I'd place the "featured images" on the bottom. - What does "featured images" even mean? Player uploaded? Added by editor? Why should anyone care about this? - The images above the articles seem way to big/high and the images aren't that interesting themselves. -I would have placed the donate-info seen on the right, on top on the right side, and not between the eve video and the podcasts.

Thank you to those of you that have donated. I really appreciate it. I will take the advice of a few posters, and ask the question... What do you like/dis-like about ENN.. What can we do to make it better for you people?
This site is for YOUR benefit, so if you would like something changed, or added, please let us know.
Also, to those of you that imply that people dont donate, because they dont like the site... I find that rubbish, ENN would not get 35,000 page views and 20,000 visitors if people didnt like the site :) - - - - - - -

Why do I suddenly get the feeling people will be talking about this as the most elaborate scam ever someday.

I find that kind of statement offensive...
What was said supposed to point out how little everyone would need to donate in order to get the ENN budget very well off. It was just an example figure.. And actually, with all salaries added up, it cost about 1.4 Billion a month to run ENN. Scoff, and say we get paid too much all you like, But we are working on that, we still need Donations regardless. So, if you go by my example, the 100billion that the 5 million donation each would produce, at the current rate of 1.4 bill per month, we could support ENN for a solid 74 months. Obviously, i dont think im gonna get 20,000 of you to donate 5million.. But the example remains, if all of you donated such a small amount as that, ENN would be able to run for a long while.
Now.. on a different note. One of my staff came up with the idea of starting a "Holdings Corp" and setting up Moon Mining operations and selling stocks, and such like that. So i put that idea out there.. To all 0.0 Alliances out there... Would you be willing to donate some moons to ENN to help support this website? - - - - - - -
