I wonder whether muggers join a group and then lose interest for lack of interest - and whatever threads have been started just sit there gathering dust, as quiet as the grave. Seems a lost opportunity to me, but then it takes at least two to tango, and to keep it up.

Within a few hours of posting, a single unknown Mugger had already contributed $300 of the $350 needed. The same individual funded the remainder of the project early this morning. I need to coordinate time with the developer, but we will likely be updated by the end of the week with a squeaky-clean fully-functional glitch-free (knock on wood) chat, all thanks to the generosity of one person. I do not know who did it, but I definitely would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to this person. I know a lot of you have also been struggling with chat-related issues as well. If you'd also like to thank the Mystery Mugger for their thoughtful contribution, please do so here. less

Talk about frustration :P

The code had to be removed from individual pages one by one, and I want to make sure I got every ad space. You'll still see ads by Project Wonderful. Right now, I see the "free goodies" ad across the top of most pages... that should still be there. And, you should still see Taboola ads, which are typically links to stories and has a heading like "You may like" (bottoms of some pages) or "from the web" (right side of some pages). If you see ads other than this, please shoot me a link to the page you see them.2) Mobile users- are you still getting oddball redirects? I've played with the ads a considerable amount trying to identify which ad service (if it's even here) is causing some mobile users to get redirected to non-Mug pages. I've had a few reports of this, but it's insanely intermittent and doesn't seem to be linked to anyth... less
