### Sponsus is shutting down! It has been looming for quite some time and now it seems Sponsus is actually about to shut down. Their API is not responding and the website doesn't seem to work properly anymore. The onwer doesn't respond and only less than 5% of the usual money got processed for August. If you've been sponsoring us through Sponsus, please check if any money was deducted in the last 2 weeks. Only 5% of you should have been billed. If you still got billed, please cancel your subscription with them (DO NOT reclaim the money from Stripe though, that would be a very bad idea!). I now have to find a new solution. I might add my own UI integrating with Stripe directly (https://stripe.com, one of the major international payment backbones). As Sponsus also used Stripe, everyone who supported us through Sponsus should be able to do the same through Stripe. However, implementing this will mean a lot of work for me, which I actually don't have the time for right now. So I'm afraid I'm going to lose a shit load of money in the next months to keep the servers running. Keep your fingers crossed, that I'll be able to resolved this ASAP.
