Runamuck registration cut-off update

[kup]

If I am mistaken crave.com is also fun pub which has been sold. The company seems to be in deep trouble due to this credit card situation. To me it screams opportunity

You want to see if we can take over it

Exactly - the domain name is great, and I'm really surprised it has not taken off as fast as it should have. My guess is they got funding, spent heaps, didn't make the desired return and are selling it.

They've just put up the PDF form, and again stressed that people should mail in their registration and cash if they want to make the deadline (as there is no hint or reassurance by them that they are going to have the system back online in time for March 16th).

For those keen here, that should be enough time for airmail postage... but make sure you make out the Cheque or Money Order in US$.
Otherwise, wait and see if and when the Store Site goes back online.

Risky, I'm glad I renewed back in January.

I am lucky not to have any isues with my card yet.
knock on wood.

hopefully the new credit card company they are emplying is more secure than the older one.

That, and FunPub's website being brought out of the Internet Dark ages.

I didn't even know it existed and I have been collecting for some years now. I would be surprise if more than a few people know that it exists so there is the problem.

I noticed a difference in prices

Air Mail is a crapshoot - there's probably a 50% chance that it'd arrive in time. And if it doesn't... we're basically paying $82 to NOT get Runamuck.

What's even worse, you _can't_ get a US money order here. Which leaves a USD cheque. Which will cost $20-30 to organise and a similar amount to cancel if it goes missing in the mail.

I've emailed them through their website asking if I can join via email at all. I'll post the response (if any!) here.

lol, I see that as a tacked on manual processing fee. TBH, not surprised in the slightest, making their customers pay for their sloppy business practices.

Oh so much failure TFCC... It's so embarrassing, I am ashamed to be a member.

I thought there was Western Union outlets around, I know there used to be one at the newsagent near me but it's been so long since I needed one they may have closed.
