Kukla's Korner Hockey
Times Are Tough

note: this post will remain at the top of KK for the next 24-48 hours.
When I started blogging using the free blogspot services, I knew nothing about what the future would hold.
Today, after about 4 1/2 years of blogging, I have a better grip on how things work.
In order to make it easier on the KK readers, I went the professional route and paid for a web designer, blogging software and a hosting service.
At this point of time, KK receives over 12 million page views a month and that figure continues to grow. Continuing to grow is good, but with that growth comes more expenses, which are normally covered by the ads that appear on KK.
But advertising income is way down, down due to the economic problems we are all aware of. At one time, KK was receiving around $2.50 per thousand ads viewed, these days, that number is down to about .50 cents per thousand.
In the past conversations that I have had with KK readers, I have always stated I would never think of charging you for viewing KK, I would stop blogging if it ever came to that. My views are still the same, but what I am going to ask is if you have found KK a useful service, one that is helped you keep up with all things hockey, maybe you would like to make a one-time donation to help KK get through these very tough economic times.
I have set up an account that allows you to donate through PayPal. Any amount is appreciated and all money received will go right back into KK.
I hope you understand the situation and ask you .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) if you have any questions or concerns.

I come here for hockey news because I consider it to be the best source. For that, I have gladly donated to help with the cost. Thanks for all you do, Paul, and all the other KK bloggers.

Gladly, Paul.
This is my #1 go-to site for hockey news. It’s indispensible.
My donation is traveling through the intrawebs as we speak.

you know, i should be giving donations to charities, but instead ill probably go to hell for the love of hockey :D my wallet is always open for KK

Another way for Firefox users to help KK.com is to disable AdBlock Plus (if installed) for this website, or any other site that relies on ads to keep them up and running.
Posted by DigitalGypsy66 on 05/26/09 at 09:20 AM ET
I’ll gladly make a contribution, but it’ll have to wait until I get paid. Next Monday, I’ll send some money your way. There’s no way I could find all this news in such a short period of time without the help of KK.
That, and I love the 19. My life hasn’t been the same since finding them!
Posted by Alan from Atlanta on 05/26/09 at 09:24 AM ET
I rarely post, but I read your site everyday. This is the best site for hockey news. I will definitely donate as I wouldn’t be able to survive without it.
Thanks for everything Paul!
Posted by Haejira on 05/26/09 at 09:33 AM ET
Paul, another donation is hitting Al Gore’s pipes n tubes via Paypal (might take a few minutes to remember the password tho’).
This place is absolutely my go to puck stop and the 19 of us A2Y fools wouldn’t be the same without all you do for us all.
If we all pitch in a few bucks it would be nice make sure Paul doesn’t have to ask again in the near future. 
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/26/09 at 09:38 AM ET
When you’re in, your in. I like what you have here Paul. Fantastic hockey coverage and, fun all at the same time. Everybody get’s to be themselves. No pretenders.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 05/26/09 at 09:57 AM ET
here’s a small donation -times are tough for all—keep up the good work & hope you are feeling better
Go Wings also

worth every penny. which is good, because that’s how much I donated.
(kidding, of course)

hmm, never thought about that. I’ve gotten so used to not seeing ads anywhere, at all, ever. one of the reasons I love this browser…but I never realized it would affect revenue for KK.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/09 at 10:14 AM ET
Paul, consider it done.
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on all the latest hockey happenings.
KK has been my go-to place for info I can consider as “a reliable source”.
And thanks for giving Chief and the 19 at A2Y a place where we can “stress” together!
GO WINGS!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/26/09 at 10:17 AM ET
holy crap. I disabled Adblock Plus, now I know what all that empty space on the KK pages is for!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/09 at 10:17 AM ET
As long as this money isnt going to the Chief so he can by his wife a new french maid outfit I am happy to give what I can (which isnt much Paul, sorry. Times are tough), All kidding aside I am on your site every single day, multiple times. I mostly read your posts about the wings and of course A2Y. I think its only fair to contribute to the cause. Also since I am donating and now a share holder I am putting out a motion that we ban The Puck Stops Here from all future posts. Who’s with me?
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/26/09 at 10:41 AM ET
Thanks everyone who has donated so far. We are at about $500 and my goal is about $2500.
That would the perfect number and I would not have to bother you at least for another year.
Hopefully the economic conditions will have improved by then!
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 10:42 AM ET
holy crap. I disabled Adblock Plus, now I know what all that empty space on the KK pages is for!
No kidding! I’m a little taken aback, but if it helps the site, I’ll happily keep AdBlock disabled here. I also plan on disabling it at home after work.
Posted by Alan from Atlanta on 05/26/09 at 10:46 AM ET
No question it’s worth it. A few dollars here and a few dollars there, and no one will have to do everything. The wonder of teamwork. 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/26/09 at 10:46 AM ET
Ha of Adblock. Remember, I prevent auto play ads from appearing and no pop-up ads either.
I use NoScript myself and love the way it works, gives me a little more of user inputted options per site.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 10:49 AM ET
The donation has been made, Paul. I just wish it could be more.
Personally, I’d like to see a donation button as a permanent feature in the righthand column on the Home page. That way, we could send you a few bucks every once and awhile as the money becomes available. For now, I’ll just bookmark this page so I can use the button above when I get my bailout money.
Posted by OlderThanChelios from Grand Rapids on 05/26/09 at 10:51 AM ET
That’s a good idea OTC. I was very hesitant to ask for a donation, but it was getting pretty bad, costs continue but ad revenue dropped so I had to do something about it.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 10:54 AM ET
I just sent my money, hope it can help as I get as much enjoyment out of the Empire as any site on the net.

Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/26/09 at 11:41 AM ET
Evidently, since I am also now a share holder (Thanks, Paul; now I have something to make me feel important ), I agree - TPSH be banned!
Then again, what would keep us so hilariously entertained? We all know better than to take any of that drivel seriously. It just makes us laugh at the stupidity and a laugh together at someone else’s expense, especially TPSH’s, may still be worth it.
Nah.
Ban ‘em. 
GO WINGS!!!

Also since I am donating and now a share holder I am putting out a motion that we ban The Puck Stops Here from all future posts. Who’s with me?
I’m not yet a shareholder, as per my first post; however, consider this:
Television has Jerry Springer. Those of us who are educated enough to tell the difference between a circle and a square know that 99.9% of that show is about as fake as Michael Jackson’s nose. Alas, people still watch it. To some, it makes them feel better about their own crappy situation. And that’s all that matters.
Now, TPSH serves a similar purpose. The 19, as well as some others, have come out in full force in an attempt to educate the man. Alas, the endeavor is about as fruitless as trying to grow oranges in the tundra. We still read him, though, don’t we? We’re always curious about what trainwreck is coming next. We are, in essence, the folks watching Jerry Springer. Will transvestite prostitutes be on the next show? We’re not sure, but we’re glued to the television with bated breath, just itching to find out.
This is why TPSH must stay. Because even those of us who know better have to have something to indulge in.
Posted by Alan from Atlanta on 05/26/09 at 11:09 AM ET
Paul, I’m still waiting to see what financial aid Duquesne is going to offer me, which affects my current budget (yay, returning to grad school). Once I find out, I’ll gladly donate as much as possible. Do you have a deadline for donations?
Posted by Aphaea from Pennsylvania on 05/26/09 at 11:18 AM ET
Aphaea, no problem and we will be adding a donate button on the right sidebar in the next few days.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 11:20 AM ET
Quick update, we are at about $700. Any size donation is appreciated and thanks again for those who have sent in their hard earned money.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 11:35 AM ET
Done and done… I think I owe you a bit more, Paul. Thanks for everything you have done for the hockey community!

I agree, I am on the site at least 3 times a day. It’s nice having the paid subscriptions to SBJ available to us as well. A few bucks a year is hardly asking much. I think a lot of people on this site would go nuts if KK shut down. LONG LIVE KK!!!
Posted by lordhogie from Calgary on 05/26/09 at 11:38 AM ET
I’m just a lurker, but I love KK and I can’t imagine not having it on my RSS feed every morning. Happy to help!

This is an exceptional site and I hope it continues to be so.
Great job everyone.

Excellent idea. That way those of us who are on the site many times during a week can donate whenever we think of it.
And don’t feel bad asking for money. You provide a heck of a lot more value for (nearly) free than many things I pay a lot more for - and I’m 100% certain I’m not alone in that sentiment.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/26/09 at 12:59 PM ET
I would rather pull out my pubes with tweezers, one at a time, than have to go one single day without my KK (and A2Y). I’m glad to be able to help.
Posted by dougie on 05/26/09 at 01:01 PM ET

With as much time as I spend here in a day sometimes, not sure “hard earned” applies to every dollar as of the start of the Playoffs anyway.
Let’s fill the hat being passed around…
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/26/09 at 01:02 PM ET
Happy to donate, Paul. I too, use Firefox, but have had AdBlock disabled for this reason! Join the club people… the ads on KK are really not annoying at all. Like Paul said, they are never pop-ups, and even most of the ads are hockey-related, so it’s not a total annoyance.

So true Baroque!

I hear ya. They started blocking facebook at work but I don’t care. If they started blocking KK though, I’d lose my freaking mind.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/09 at 01:09 PM ET
This site gives me more info than 1000 visits to TSN or ESPN could ever wish to fulfill. The money’s being sent as we speak.
Posted by Corey on 05/26/09 at 01:27 PM ET
Sent! Not a lot, but hopefully I can manage some more soon!
Posted by moore00 from Columbus, OH/Grand Rapids, MI on 05/26/09 at 01:36 PM ET
Now if we could just donate enough to get rid of those disgusting bellyfat ads, that’d be heaven!
Posted by moore00 from Columbus, OH/Grand Rapids, MI on 05/26/09 at 01:39 PM ET
I’ve been blogging for about a year and a half now and have been frustrated that I’m not seeing more of a financial reward for the 50+ hours a week I put into this. In a twisted way I feel a little better to know that even the “big guns” are struggling a bit…maybe it’s not something I’m doing wrong…? Thankfully, I love what I write about - which is completely unrelated to hockey, except for my connection to a Red Wings FREAK - my husband. (He reads you daily…hourly?...but has never made a peep in the comments.) I suggested we donate since you provide such an amazing source of information to him and he agreed. Hope you reach your goal!

I’m currently on unemployment right now. I won’t get a check till tomorrow and if you’re willing to wait for the next 24-36 hours, I WILL give what I can tomorrow, Paul.

Well, this is the easiest decision I’ve made all day ... can’t live without my KK and A2Y. Payment is on its way. Thanks for everything you do, Paul.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/26/09 at 02:23 PM ET
Done.
Thanks Paul for what is easiest the best hockey blog on the planet. Having this resource since the bleak days of the lockout has been indespensable. Please keep up the good work.

p.s. Could you perhaps save some money by switching to WordPress or some other cheaper blogging service? Also I’m a professional web developer so if you ever need to bounce ideas off me feel free.

OK folks, we are past the 1/2 way point, just about $1300 now.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 02:54 PM ET
@ SYF - Forget it.
I’ll toss in a few more bucks for you since I’m still gainfully employed. Donate when you aren’t waiting for unemployment checks.

See the 19 are not completely juvenile and un-caring. Keep the donate button up Paul. Myself, along with plenty of other people I am sure, want to donate more then we could at the moment. If you keep the button up it will give us the chance to help out when we can.
Posted by AxeMaster9 on 05/26/09 at 03:17 PM ET

If that A2Y tote bag came with a wheel of cheddar, I would totally do it.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/09 at 03:18 PM ET
Only 1 of the 19 could come up with a picture like that. Wondering if that is The Sailor’s boat?

Hope it helps….
Hey…Where’s my coffee mug?

I assume most of the people around here are (like me) old enough to know who that is and why it’s funny.
if not, just Google Tommy Vu and maybe look on Youtube. he’s actually a pretty good professional poker player these days.

I bet that boat came cheap because it smells like cat pee, and he was only able to surround himself with beautiful women because they used to be men.
I know those secrets to saving money and manny more, which is why I was able to donate to Paul.

Posted by David from Anaheim, CA on 05/26/09 at 04:59 PM ET
Well, Paul, I was going to give you $10 until I saw that Akus gave you 8.70, so instead I figured I’d give you a Jordan Staal instead.
So thank Akus for the extra dollar.
Even with all the dang Wings fans this site is a must read
Posted by Kstewy16 on 05/26/09 at 05:09 PM ET
I’ve been coming to KK for years. I remember first checking out the blog from some excellent conversations I had with Paul RW1 at Mlive’s Red Wings forum. I’ve won a few contests here and read multiple times a day, so I really do owe my fair share. This site really is a one stop shopping for across the board NHL news and etcetera. I wish I could contribute now, but I’ve been unemployed for almost a year and living on the last of my meager savings and unemployment. If I can secure a job soon, I’ll definitely send a thank you donation from my first paycheck! Anyone hiring in San Francisco? =)
Wish you continued success and better health.
Posted by Puck from San Francisco, CA on 05/26/09 at 05:13 PM ET
Can we say almost $1900? I am speechless and very grateful for all of the contributions.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/26/09 at 05:38 PM ET
I’m a huge Pens fan, that is ashamed to admit, never really been here before.
So I guess my pennance must be a donation…. The more good places
for hockey the better….

Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/09 at 06:06 PM ET
Paul, I made a small donation to help you out, and must say I am happy to do so.
You are the only website I’ve ever considered donating money to… with the exception of the paysite I use to watch hockey online, and the time I subscribed to some adult site back in 2000 while drunk which I canceled when I sobered up.
Your website is very appreciated for your hard work and dedication in finding the best stories to bring hockey fans. And for giving A2Y a soapbox on which to piss off the entire Gore.
May you and your website stay healthy for a long time. Thanks for the good work, Paul.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/26/09 at 06:24 PM ET
Hey Paul—
I sent in my (small) donation earlier today, but I figured I’d join in here with the accolades. I check this site at least twice per day, even now that my team is out of the playoffs. Even though it has a tendency to be Detroit-centric, it’s the first site I check after reading my e-mail, even before my Rangers blogs. All the important hockey info is here in one place. Thanks for putting up such a great site.

I am glad to be a (small) part of the Kuklathon before the target amount is wildly exceeded.
Many thanks for creating your empire to care for us exiles in non-hockey parts of the country (planet).
Thanks for providing a venue for A2Y and Alanah and all the others. Best wishes . . .

Posted by stoneman from Vegas on 05/26/09 at 11:31 PM ET
I love KK and I’d donate otherwise, but you’re doing your site a great disservice by allowing sexist, bigoted, classless drivel like A2Y to continue to bring down the level of discourse on your site. I can’t support something like that. Hockey fans deserve better.
Posted by Thomas on 05/27/09 at 12:38 AM ET
I think there are 19 of us that would disagree with you, Thomas.
Posted by Hippy Dave from Portland by way of Detroit on 05/27/09 at 01:09 AM ET
No surprise Thomas is using a forum like this to slam one of Paul’s friends and soapbox about his own dislikes. Who’s classless now? Paul’s just asking for help Thomas—if you don’t have any to give, silence is free.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/27/09 at 01:23 AM ET
Good morning everyone.
We are about $400 short of the $2500 goal that I set yesterday and I really cannot believe all the contributions that have rolled in.
Hopefully this post can get removed from the top of page sometime today.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 05/27/09 at 05:47 AM ET
KK’s the best hockey site on the net. Chipped in. ‘Hope you’re able to pull through!

In honor of this dumb comment I’m sending a second donation on behalf of the 19 for 19.00.
Posted by Chris Pronger Rosetta Stone on 05/27/09 at 08:12 AM ET
Hopefully this will be my last update in this post. Almost at the goal, donations now total $2300 so only $200 to go.

Oh my gosh Paul! That’s great. If I could do a second donation like CPRS right now I would.

That sounds very familiar ...
I got it. Junior high school at lunch.
“I’m sorry Rachel, but we like you and we’d like to have you be our friend, but you can’t be friends with Kimberly, too. She’s just ... well, not very attractive and it doesn’t look good for us to be seen with her. Surely you understand. You just need to make a choice.”
Rachel: “I’m sorry. If you don’t want to be friends with me or Kimberly, that’s your loss.”
(Thomas is a funny nickname for Heather.)
