Hello All,

I apologize in advance but I usually try to resolve everything I can on my own but I'm at a point where I need to ask for help otherwise I will lose everything. I know the community has helped me before such as with my Cat's surgery so I am forever grateful. I love this community and everyone here has always been super supportive over the years. I appreciate you all and that's why I always pour my heart and soul into the development of Ignition. Recently with the loss of my Discord account and other factors I am here asking for the community's assistance.

I've been facing financial difficulties due to my doctor's copays and other problems, as a result I've fallen behind my bills. It's gotten to a point where I must move out of my apartment to be even to afford everything. I was hoping for $750 from FEMA due to Hurricane Milton, but unfortunately, I was denied because my insurance covered a small portion of the costs, disqualifying me from the aid I desperately needed.

On top of this, my health issues have reached a point where they’re becoming unmanageable. I’m struggling to afford my current prescriptions, and the $50 copays for doctor visits are adding to my stress. This situation is affecting my ability to work and manage daily life, further complicating my financial struggles. Due to my bills, I am unable to afford my current medications and doctors visits.

My bills, including rent, have been increasing, making it hard to keep my head above water. At my current job I was due for a review/pay increase in May but I still haven't received my review.

Additionally, my Discord account was hacked recently, which caused me to lose several contacts I’ve made over the years. This has added to my feelings of depression, which I’ve been battling and need to continue treatment for. It’s tough to ask for help, but I truly have no one else to turn to. 

I want to emphasize that I completely understand if you’re not in a position to contribute financially. Support comes in many forms. Whether it’s sharing this message, offering words of encouragement, or simply being there. All of it means a great deal to me. For those who can help, I would be incredibly grateful for any assistance you can provide.

I love my community that I've built over the years. The administration and staff, the streamers, charters, patreons, donators, and everyone else. Thank you so much for using CustomsForge. I hope we can continue rocking out together for years to come. Your support will help me get back on my feet.

Thank you so much,
Mark

For some general updates:

  • I dunno when I'll get my discord account back
  • I also don't know when we will get control of the server. I applied to be unbanned and to transfer it over to my alt account for now.
  • CF Development is currently paused for a bit. I had to reinstall windows as well.
  • Spotify approval (since aug) is still pending, so those features are still on hold
  • The report system fix I know what to do, just can't deploy it right now.

i really appreciate your work on this website and allowing customs over the years , wish you a good health and wealth

this website haven't changed much over the years its just look the same with some new features that doesnt add alot imo 

discord is probably just people asking questions how to get or make cdlcs

im not seeing even 1% thing to be worry about as website owner , just keep the website as it is without even any additions that are irrelevant 

most of the community here i guess are just downloading stuff and dont much care about the features

i think that as for cdlcs creators its pretty much hard job and not get much worth to upload i personally know some cdlc creators who prefer not to upload their cdlcs

because they dont feel they get anything , but im not sure what you can do to help

btw i think of if this website engine is giving you trouble because it so old , just move on to new engine and keep this website as archive , there is already a website ive seen of alot of the cdlcs in this website copied to archive like download, i guess that at least half of the cdlcs in this website are pretty much terrible and not worth to host , people including me could give you donations to move on rather then having a headache maintaining an old website at least if thats what the situation is at

I'm dealing with many of the same issues, my man.  Times are rough, but keep your head up and remember you're never alone.  Appreciate everything you do for the scene.

Thank you for all the assistance everyone. I've been recovering from the flu on top of everything this week. I caught up on almost half of my bills so I appreciate all the support! This community is everything to me.

And for the development concerns. I find it working more on a hobby of mine compared to work.  I always love improving and adding small features even if it helps a select few. It's not a problem. 🙂

Thank you all for your help for real, it means the world to me.
