It’s everyone’s favorite week of the year — the Closer Monkey Donation Drive! We know you’ve missed these heavyhanded pleas for the past 51 weeks of your life, so we’re thrilled to be bringing back one of our most popular features!
Seriously though, we’re grateful for any support that you’re willing to offer. In the early going, we made a decision that we’d never charge for this service, but we do have some pretty significant costs — we now send almost 5 million emails a year, which isn’t cheap, and we have to upgrade our server on an annual basis to accommodate extra traffic. (And there’s no end in sight for the latter, obviously, as we still briefly crashed a couple times yesterday. Our apologies if you weren’t able to access the site for a few minutes after an alert.)
So anyway, if we’ve helped you win some scratch in your league the last few years and you want to give something back, here are the ways you can support us:
1. Sign up for Premium. $20 gets you full text updates right in your inbox. No more clicking through to the site! (If you’re considering this, think about buying a hoodie, which comes with free Premium!)
2. Buy something. We have shirts, polos, and hoodies in our store. This week only: Buy a hoodie, get free Premium for a year!
3. Donate! There’s a PayPal button on the right sidebar of the desktop site.
Thanks as always. You guys are the best.
