Valdrimari, I'm sorry that my actions have angered you. I'm hoping that by taking a little time to explain myself you and other users who read this can come to understand my actions.
I created this site back when I played GW2 in order to make something that I originally wrote as a C# application for myself available to everyone playing GW2 as a webapp. I added a donation link to allow people who appreciated the work I've done to give me money.
You did bring up the amount on the homepage though and it was way off. My girlfriend and another friend sometimes pay me back by sending me money through paypal. Because the paypal I use for donations is also my personal paypal these transfers show up as donations on the tracker. I have now added code to exclude these two email addresses and the home page now accurately reflects donations to the site. It's $5.00 for the past 365 days and, in case your are curious, $311.27 since the first donation on 5/25/2014. This site was never meant to be a source of income. I did 95% of the coding before there was ever a donate button.
I really do appreciate the effort you put into gathering information and suggestions on my behalf, but that is what they are. Suggestions. If I choose not to act on them, that is my prerogative. If users decide to leave the site as a result of that choice, I'm not personally affected by that because I do not depend on this site for income.
I feel that the problem here is that there isn't really another option out there on the market, so when I don't feel like making improvements people are stuck with it. I can certainly empathize with that, but at the end of the day no one out there is entitled to my time and effort.
In an effort to provide some relief I will say this: If there is someone out there with the coding ability and the desire to improve this site, they can email me at
proteininja@yahoo.com to discuss purchasing the source code, database, and domain name from me.
I put this site on the internet so that people passionate about music in GW2 had a place to collaborate. I believe that this site is accomplishing that goal despite any inconveniences users may experience from a lack of active enhancement and support.
