Some months ago, 50% of MechScape World's future revenue was pledged to helping charities. (You can read the old topic here.) Charity is a habit not easy to break. So, for the past few months, traffic has been increasing as has our net revenue. This partner-level donation to Doctors Without Borders is our way of making YOUR time on our forums help save lives in many countries. Thank you, MechScape World users. As we continue to grow, so will our philanthropic exploits and we hope that other fansites follow the charge to convert some of their traffic to saving lives.

This is awesome. 250 dollars is alot to donate to charity's and can do alot.
Its so cool that a gaming forum can do something like this, it makes me like this place so much more.

Great job Mechscape World

Charity is a good thing, not many fansites do that.

Go MSW!

DWB is also a great charity.

That's great. I'm proud to be a member of such a generous fansite; it's great to know that collectively we can help others out there.

Thanks to all who visited this site and made it a possibility! ^_^

I'm a big fan of charities and have worked as a volunteer for the British Red Cross providing basic first aid emergency life support training (specifically for children). In charities you'll find some of the most dedicated, hard-working and inspirational people you can imagine. However, they do need resources to do their good work which is why I encourage everyone who can afford it to donate what they can to make the (non-MechScape) world a better place (or do volunteer work and help out on the front line).

Sweet.
Thank you everyone for continuing to visit MechScape World! Every time you visit, you're helping more than just the community.

Wow, I had no idea that by regularly checking for information on a video game I was helping out doctors. And strangely, none of my money is missing.

P.S. is it a good idea to put so much information about yourself online for all to see? I have seen some creeeeepy dudes in Everett.

I'm an adult, I can handle a few people knowing my name and whereabouts.

Good work, Laura, on the donation. It's a good cause

Hahahaha, well I guess I am known for being paranoid.

Good job MSW.

Wow, this has to be the easiest way to help a charity that I've ever seen! This is fantastic, good job MSW!!

Yeah giving money is easy, going there and spending time and putting effort into directly helping (looking for more donations, etc..and making use of the money donated) is another :D. But donations are just as important, good job Mechscape World :). Thanks for making the right decision Laura and MSW Staff :).

This is awesome. This makes me feel pretty good to be a member of this site


I'm from Everett >:(

Just kidding, there are some creepy people here

World Wildlife Fund next?

Well, we've donated $100 to WWF so far (source).

I had to dis Everett because I have never been to Snohomish I tend to stick to cities along I-5 Hahaha. Most I know about that city is they got a Casino there with REALLY ANNOYING radio ads.

Anyway back on subject. Knowing all this stuff will help me to cope with all the stupid ads I see. At least the pain they caused my eyes/brain helped fund a good cause.

Ah, I didn't know that. Good stuff!

Good job MSW. And congratulations for getting on the Jagex Twitter again

I had completely forgotten about your promise to donate part of the net revenue. It's nice to see you've kept your word.

By the way, seeing the past thread, I've remembered how much of an idiot I was when I first joined. How did I not get banned?

Awesome

MSW Represent! Respect....

I wondered what happend to that 50% rule.


Congratz mechscape world, and thanks!

Good job! =D

PC, I want your last name. At least people don't make fun of it such as saying Pellican or Ravioli.

Wow, I didn't know I was a part of the cause of this donation! So doesn't everybody else!

Yay

Jagex mentioned us again on twitter.

Yay to Jagex!

Great to see the charity donations continuing and having Jagex notice & appreciate it. Seems like we're getting a lot of mentions on their Twitter all of a sudden.

Nice one MSW. :)

That is a lot of money for a donation!

Anyway, good job!

That's nice! Glad to see that this site will still be up for time to come. :)

Wow, didn't know the donations were that big. It's awesome that a simple forum site can help so much! I love MSW!

Our donations go towards our server and improving MechScape World. The donations we make to charities come from half of our advertising revenue (The other half covers the server on top of donations.) So this is your viewing and clicking ads at work, not your donations (Though we really appreciate those, too!)

How much money is raised each time you click on an advertisement?

Please do not click on any advertisements unless you find them genuinely interesting.


It varies. We cannot discuss how much money we make on our advertisements.

awesome, good to see another donation going to them.

I'd like to thank Laura for making this donation and thank the users of MechScape World for making this possible.

Congrats to MSW

Great job :).

Google should do this

I think you should be careful too; Josh Glazebrook might blow you up!

Whoa, I'm astonished (in a good way).

This is my first post and second time on MSW - I hop on to the announcement subforum (searching for forum rules ) and see this.

I use various forums quite often and this is a definite first!

It surely bodes well for the quality of the community here.

Good job

This is great, I'm glad our surfing is put to good use.

good for you guys!

Congratulations MSW!

Heh, I have my name in my sig everywhere. I for one WANT my name to go out.

I order you all to remember Sp3ctre18 = Rhoi Fajardo.

Thank you.

Thanks guys for making this possible :)

Yes, once again well done guys!!

For those who are keen to suggest charities that we could donate to in the future please visit this topic! http://www.mechscapeworld.com/forums/index...?showtopic=3159

It's really good to know that such a small amount of people can make such a large difference at no expense of their own. Well done MSW, keep up the hard work!

This is great to hear ! That you are using the money that your getting from the site to do something good .

When you're a kid/teen it's understandable to be a bit afraid of the boogie men out there, and for good reason. I'm a web developer, an artist, and a hobby photographer. Like Rhoi, I want my name out there.

Nice work. It's really great to see us reaching out to the community like this.

Oh wow that's quite a bit more then I would have expected. Viewing pages goes a long way especially when you have thousands viewing everyday.
