Speculation: Site Sponsorship After Reboot

[My3Sons]

According to the thread on the main board, we lost our sponsorships. Allegedly if we send an image of the upgrade receipt to a moderator we can have it reinstated. Will that work here? Who should we send such an image to in a direct message? Hopefully one of the mods here is up on this. Thanks.....

I was just going to post the same. These ads really suck! And thank you again for the sponsorship, dad!

I have the receipt if needed. Hopefully one of our local board mods will chime in on this. I don't want to have to deal with main boards mods.

I have @RichersGhost as well somewhere in my email

Us lowly local mods don't have any power outside of our little fiefdom here. Send it to SniperHF, he'll take care of it, although it might take a while. This whole thing has been a disaster, they're working non stop to fix stuff but it's like playing whack-a-mole.

Now I know how the HF serfs feel.

Any Dark Blue will do.

Ahhhh crap.

Anyone know when everything should be “back to normal”? I understand if there’s no due date, but I’ll probably wait to renew my sponsorship until everything is back to normal.

I don't have a receipt, as a particularly very kind poster gifted it to me. He also apparently gifted one to another poster what seemed like 2-3 days before the site blew up!

lmao i literally just came to the page, saw all the ads, thought “oh my sponsorship must have lapsed” and went and paid my $12. The first thread i saw when i came back was this one and i realized it probably didn’t lapse.

Hopefully they can at least extend your sponsorship to whatever was already remaining on your original one!

Found my receipt, dated last March 27th. I'll renew next week.

I renewed mine a couple days before it blew up too. I'm over this shitshow year already.

Although oddly I don't remember seeing ads yesterday. Did that just come back?

I do think the ads might be back again today. I didn't notice them yesterday either, but maybe I just didn't think about it?

Maybe it's because the site is still ''Rebooting'', ''Rebuilding'' or whatever. And the parts we got back today were the advertisement parts.

Sorry to hear things aren't going so well for you. I remember you mentioning that a bit back.

By the way, everybody does it for me and it goes both ways. My PM's are always open if you or anyone ever needs to talk. There's NEVER a shortage of posters who hit me up when I've posted about being frustrated or mentally drained. And it absolutely goes both ways. A lot of times I don't have answers, but I'll definitely listen/read and maybe TRY to come up with some answers.

I'd like to say that my off board persona is slightly less neurotic and more stable than my on board persona.

What does the receipt look like - who was it from etc? They really screwed up here.

probably a screen shot from your e-mail. I re-upped mine back in December, so its pretty fresh. You get two e-mails. one from HF boards - the other from PayPal / Crave Media Online

My receipt was from paypal payable to crave online media. [email protected] is the email listed on the receipt

From my PayPal account.

I DMed @Bear of Bad News with a receipt screenshot from my email. I did that after reading a conversation in this thread:

Thread 'Current state of the Boards'

Mar 14, 2025

There has been an issue with backups for the board during an update. While the board is currently up but there's no guarantee it will be completely up and everything working or stay up and they continue to work on retrieving potentially lost data.

We are currently suggesting to hop on over to the Discord Server for now until the board is fully restored. The link is available at the top of the board.

Thank you
HF Staff

Suggesting that was the way to get your sponsorship back. There should be better communication about this issue and how to resolve it imo, a pinned message or at least an announcement.

Thank you to @hangman005 for restoring me.

@SniperHF was kind enough to restore my sponsorship status. Much appreciated. There will be an email receipt for anyone who purchased the sponsorship.

Oh good! The sponsor database unfortunately got f***ed when the site went kablooey. They're trying to restore it but for now they are doing this one by one which is nuts.

If anyone gifted a sponsorship to someone else let them know, they should fix it. It looks like @Bleedred got his back.

yes I let SniperHF know that I had purchased that for him and he was kind enough to restore his as well. Hopefully they work this out for everyone.
