It’s been a wild ride here at TotalDrama. From breaking the news about the sad passing of Erik Lanigan, to letting our loyal readers know first that Sarah Lane had taken a job at TechCrunch, to spreading the real truth about Leo’s potty mouth during his alleged “family-friendly” New Year’s Eve broadcast, to chronicling the absolute shitty depths of Mike Elgan’s horrible reign at TNT… We here at TotalDrama have loved every minute of it.

To those who think that this blog was held together by one person in his mother’s basement, let me tell you this: We are a team—a team of coders, chatroom members, bloggers, #scoup artists, comedy writers and researchers. It oftentimes felt like family as we gathered together to plot the next takedown, the next groundbreaking post. We had a great time and it wouldn’t have been possible without the readers. Readers who stuck by us and helped us grow to unprecedented monthly views.

But the hard reality of paying for an anonymous server located in Europe with a freewheeling dedication to supporting our free speech rights has finally hit home. Spreading truth costs money. And the money to run the server just isn’t there. That doesn’t mean that the need has gone away. The need to tell the world about Leo’s untruths abides. And if somebody wants to step forward and pay for the server, then we’ll take it. We’re not too proud to accept help.

But if that doesn’t come to pass, we adore you all! And it has been our pleasure in bringing you nothing but TotalDrama for all these months.

Update: We’re baaaaaaaaack!
