props to the guys that created this site

and to the mods

+1 to mods and software writers

Haha, well almost all that credit should go to Kestas really - he's done far more dev work than anyone else (although I hope to help out again over the summer). Infact, if I remember rightly *all* of the current code is his work with the exception of a couple of bug-fixes.

I don't think we can thank the volunteers (-especially- kestas) enough for making such an enjoyable (albeit addicting) website... and all for free. I'm honestly surprised that I can't find a donation link on this site (I'm guessing the fear of 'getting money' for the game might make the current owner of Diplomacy ask for the site to come down)... so if we can't make a donation, all we have left to do is gush at Kestas and the others that help with the site. You guys rock... we love you... keep up the fantastic work!

I think there is a donation link somewhere in the help/Faq.

Sorry about that. I tried adding it, but the messaging system doesn't like HTML (and the nested forms probably wouldn't have worked anyways).

Its not stupid Draug - there are enough of us here who know the damage that could be caused by allowing people to post raw HTML in the form!

If you want to donate to help, the link is here:

Did I say it was stupid? Please show me WHERE Fig? I didn't expect it to work and I didn't call it stupid. Please do NOT put words in my mouth.

Yes, much thanks to Kestas. I think it definitely helps that our processing is secretly and nefariously being used and recompensed for by Plura Processing to help develop nuclear weapons in Iran, but you didn't hear it from me. =)

Draugnar, I'm sure fig just read what you said wrong, don't take it personally. I really don't think he was trying to put words in your mouth or insult you, he's just not that kind of guy.

And as for Kestas, that guy rocks. We should all pitch in sometime and buy him a Europe shaped cake sometime. Thanks again for all your hard work and for putting up the money to run this place, Kestas!

I've donated $100 (AUD through PayPal) since joining this site a little over a year ago, I challenge others to donate as well, even $5 adds up fast if enough people do it!!
