The "Final (I hope) Pledge Drive" is in progress, and going strong! You all have been keeping me busy writing thank-you emails. Some of you (and you know who you are!) have gone above and beyond the call for "a couple dollars"; Whether you have given $2 or $20, though, you're all lovely, generous people, and I appreciate you more than I can say.
Update: All done! Here are some statistics for the week (rounded off, slightly): 550 of the 14,400 players who logged in during the pledge drive donated. This is about 3.82%, which is pretty darn good! It surprised me that only 1,900 of the 14,400 logins were weekend-only players, since I assumed that there would be a larger contingent of people avoiding the site during the work-week for the sake of their productivity.
I tried to thank everyone personally, if briefly, although there was some difficulty with non-functional PayPal email addresses (if your initials are V.H. or K.S. and you didn't get a response to your donation, please write to me!). Your donations have put me on solid footing, and given me the breathing space I'll need to make this whole criminal defense gig work. You can be sure that, no matter where my career takes me, I will always ensure that this game keeps going - and getting better!
And for the 96.18% who didn't or couldn't donate . . . thank you for coming to play, thereby helping to make this site more fun for everyone by adding to the competition! Play on!

I don't do paypal - but would send you some money the old fashioned way through the mail. Where to send it?
I love web boggle and its total lack of commercialness.
Send an email to game@shackworks.com, and I'll give you my address. I'm a bit uncomfortable posting it, though I am not quite sure why.
Happy to donate (thanks for all the hard work!), even though I play the new version much less because it's so slow and difficult. I do miss the old "elegant" version, as someone put it in a previous comment...but I'm still glad I can play occasionally! :)
Hi Evan,
Made my donation(it's a tiny one - sorry)
I love the site - thanks a lot.
hi evan, I just love playing weboggle online...thank you so much :D
I am having trouble using your website with my mac. I always played on your old site but I can't make the grid open up and show words- all I see is a compacted grid and no words. Maybe I need to upgrade something?
UguyzMustBCheatin' (the name I use)
yeah i know, i can't get the grid with the letters to pop up either, so i haven't been able to play since the old version ='(
For people having trouble with Macs, download and use Firefox. I have a Macbook and have zero problems with the site.
