Hello,
Just a quick update that we have updated our site policy. You can read over it, but I’ll lay out the major changes:
This next announcement is a very important one. Because of the departure of the Mario Kart 8 community, our financial situation has been extremely bad as of late. This past year we didn’t have enough money to pay for hosting the site, leaving the administrators at the time to pay for it. However, if we don’t make it this year, we cannot guarantee that the website will continue. This is because the site isn’t earning enough revenue in order to justify paying for the site year after year. It is only $160, so type of support would be greatly appreciated a ton.
Here are some of the ways you can help:
Donations:
This is the main way you can help. Here is the link where you can donate. It goes 100% to our site.
Disabling Ad-Block:
We also run on ad money as well. If you have ad-block, please disable it for the website. We only run a few ads on the website, so it shouldn’t be too much of a distraction.
Subscribing to our YouTube/Twitch:
This is another great way to support us. We have almost hit the 1000 subscriber mark to our YouTube channel, which allows us to monetize our content. This will be another way we’re going to generate revenue towards the site, as well as subscribing to Twitch.
Additionally, we’ll be working on features to incentivize donating to our site and Twitch channel in the near future.
Thank you for reading this thread,

Just a quick update that we have updated our site policy. You can read over it, but I’ll lay out the major changes:
- Off-site offenses will not be dealt with, unless there is a case of extreme harassment, sexual harassment, or illegal activities
- We’re going to be a lot stricter in our affiliated servers (MKPS, league servers, lounge, etc.) and in direct messages in order to stomp out toxicity and bettering behavior among our users.
- Thread bans are going to be used less for general discussion posts. We’ll still give out infractions users if they post inappropriately by breaking the rules, but we believe that everyone should have a say in forum posts.
- Updated wording to make it more professional.
