i know it's only something small, and most likely, they won't even pay any mind to this, but i just feel as if i gotta do something to help, I love Tm too much to see it go down. I know, shun me, say it's stupid, do whatever, I just, it's better then doing nothing at all. Please, to any one, Please sign cry

Money is the only thing that would save TinierMe, so what you'd be looking to start is a donation pool, but I doubt you'd make enough to make them reconsider sadly.

*sigh* i know, there's someone on tm that's actually working on something like that, i just felt like i needed to try and do something

Money won't even save TM. It's a combination of money and legal issues. They were walking a very fine line in terms of legality, and there wasn't enough profit in it for the risks they were taking. No amount of petitions or donations will change that.

Legal issues how? I've nor heard nothing of the sort. In fact the most popular rumor I've heard going around is that GCREST/CyberAgent got a new CEO and is pulling out of the U.S. Market (Pico World is also closing in December).

I know I'm being pessimistic, but TM is dead to me now.
All these petitions just seem ... old.

This is the explanation I'm leaning on. I heard it from one of the TM sponsors, which gave me more reason to believe this was the reason.
It's nice that people are trying, but it's just not coming back. Even then, lets say someone actually has the money to buy TM. Why would GCrest want to give up their site, TM name, items, etc? Especially when they're still using assets and creating new ones for @Games. They'd have to have some sort of partnership, which I doubt is something they're looking for or are interested in. As far as I understood, they're just not interested in the US market anymore. We don't spend money the same way people do in Japan.

Indeed. I got a peak at GCREST's quarterly earnings and they reported +18% increase in income. Not like running sites over here seemed to actually cost them anything with profits like that.

Hell, I wonder how much of that was profit from TM and Pico World?

Guess I'll see sometime next quarter if they make more or less after dropping the U.S. market.

Yes, they are short on funding the site
The best bet is if a larger company would invest in TM
