Randomizers
As a heads up, the randomizer service that this TCG uses has now imposed a daily limit! Basically, this is that randomizers are only allowed 2000 daily hits.
"Instead of a monthly limit, I am instead going to set up a Daily limit (which is actually the # of hits in the last 24 hours, so it won't be different for different timezones - but I will refer to it as "daily"). This daily limit will be 2000 hits for free randomizers (which in the end actually gives you more hits than originally planned). You can view how many you are using as an additional column "Hits in last 24 hours" in your randomizer area. The "Monthly hits" column will remain, just FYI.
Pricing will be $2 for each additional 1000 daily hits, which will cover 1 month. Again, discounts will be offered if you apply for more than 12 months, for more hits (increments of 1000 only), or for more than 3 randomizers. As well, exceptions may be considered on an individual basis if you only need additional hits for certain days (i.e. special activity which will cause a temporary spike in hits).
If you would like to make a payment, or ask about the exceptions, please either send me a PM on this forum, on ProBoards support, or on vForums support with the subject [randomizer hits]. If none of those are an option you may email mr.frufru [at] gmail. Include:
-the randomizer name (s)
-the randomizer ID (s) (which can be found in the first column in your randomizer area)
-a contact email
-the # of hits you would like to add
-the time period
If the information is valid I will respond with a PayPal payment request within 24 hours. (Unfortunately PayPal is the only payment method accepted at the moment. Google Checkout does not accept Canadian sellers, and due to my university program I do not have a fixed address that a cheque or a money order can be sent to)."

What does this mean for you? Well, it's a possibility of a few things:
1) I could ask for donations. I don't really want to do this, because I want the service to remain free, but the total price would be $10 a month at the minimum. I do not have $10 a month to pay, so this would have to come from all of you.
2) We change services to something based on a website. The problem with this is that actually setting it up would be a long, time-consuming process.
3) We continue to use this service. However, we are exceeding the daily limit in about 12 hours, it seems like. So when the "MAX HITS EXCEEDED" image shows up, then you will not be able to use the service until our count is reset.
So, thoughts? Suggestions? I don't need complaints, since there's nothing I can do about this.
