Shenmue Dojo

We're happy to bring a small present of our own for the holiday season, in that we've moved on to an upgraded server hence no more down or lag time.

"Your website will be migrated to one of our newest and highest performance servers with the maximum amount of available resources."

As most of you are aware, regular members and lurkers alike, Shenmue Dojo is hosted in an ad free environment. To do this however is not cheap and leaves the owner to pay any and all fees out of pocket.

This past billing cycle was paid for completely by the members, as promised. However due to the account changes, our new billing cycle will be starting the first of the new year, less than a month away. Any and all donations go towards the health of our website and towards any future projects that may occur within the community. If you don't know how to donate, click here to find out how.

Users who donate, as always, will be awarded special account privileges. Those who donate in excess of $50 will receive something special on our end, but please, only donate as you see fit within your budget. We thank our members for making this community what it is today, to both those that can and can not donate. Your knowledge and presence means more than anything.

Happy Holidays from the Shenmue Dojo!

Donations can be made by clicking the oval orange button on the front page.

Donated 10 dolla dollas. That's more than I give to the salvation army XD. Enjoy my hard earned money.

There you go sir.

I'll make a new donation is Jan, it's been a while.

Also this time I'm in, to donate the Dojo!

We have to keep Shenmue alive!

I'm to curious about it ;)

Oh, I didn't know about this topic since a few days.

I will donate. The dojo has been my 1st Shenmue source since the begining.

I am actually returning to this great Shenmue info. source. It's amazing to still have the chance to be here. Good to know there's now a stronger version of the site. Oh!! And happy holly days too.

oh wow, haven't logged in in ages.

I'm not going to be donating cause the site interface is very bad.
I never liked the upgrade to begin with, the previous site was aesthetically better looking and easier to navigate.

Revert back to the previous interface, or design a better one and hopefully you'll attract more viewers and new people willing to donate.

Oh boy, this post it making me look like an ass****, and a troll.
Best donate a little money to feel less like an asshole, after all the dojo is the best place for Shenmue period.

The site interface wasn't changed, that's the only "problem" I can see. The overall presentation of the main page was. Without any Shenmue news, it simply wasn't worth changing hundreds and hundreds of pages, especially at the time with so many other things to do. It may still be in the works one day, though.

But seriously, if you think the visual aspect of the first site's main page which looked like an angel fire template was better than the custom design we now have, I'm going to refund that donation (that you'd never make anyway) and put it towards a fund to help cure your blindness. Preference is one thing, but that's just ridiculous. Consider yourself alone, even those who hate change around here were thankful for the overall design upgrade.

Revert back to the previous interface, or design a better one and hopefully you'll attract more viewers and new people willing to donate.

You do know traffic was literally fifteen times higher after the redesign, right? Look at the web analytics and kindly shut up about things you obviously know nothing about.

I personally love the new interface so please don't change it haha. Makes it look more official.
