We Hunted The Mammoth
Just a quick announcement: If you signed up for email notifications a while back, and you haven’t been getting them lately, go sign up again!
Evidently the old email notifications list didn’t transfer over (or transfer over properly) when I switched web hosts recently.
And if you never signed up in the first place, well, you can sign up, too!
The signup thingy is in the sidebar.
The 3rd and 4th Quarter We Hunted the Mammoth pledge drive is over, and I would like to offer HUGE THANKS to everyone who donated. Once again, I am humbled by your support, and by your generosity, especially since I know that money can be tight this time of year. I couldn’t do this blog without you.
If you haven’t quite gotten around to donating, here’s that button again. Click it. You know you want to.
We’re about half way through the pledge drive, and I wanted to give you all a little bit of an update.
But first, big, big thanks to everyone who has donated so far. Some of you have been really quite generous, and I appreciate it greatly. Obviously, I am thankful for every donation; they all make a difference.
Here’s that magical donate button again. You don’t need to have a PayPal account to donate, and if you live outside of the US, PayPal will automatically convert your donation into US dollars.
If you haven’t donated (yet), and can afford it, please, please do! I depend on these donations to keep my cats fed and the rent paid and this blog going.
I also want to let you know about another way to support We Hunted the Mammoth that won’t cost you a cent, or at least not a cent more than you were already spending. I’ve set up an Amazon affiliate account, which basically means that I put up some Amazon ads on the site and if you buy anything after clicking through one of them, Amazon gives me a cut.
So if at some point this Holiday season you’re buying someone a present through Amazon, just come here, click through the Amazon ad below, or one of the smaller ads I have in the sidebar, and you’ll be giving me a present too.
While the Amazon links aren’t going to be huge moneymakers, ad revenues overall are as important as donations in keeping this blog going. Which brings me to this.
Previously, when I was hosting this site on WordPress.com, WordPress also handled the ads, for better or worse.
Now that I’m hosting the blog elsewhere, I’m looking for an ad network (or a couple of ad networks) I can use to replace the ads WordPress used to run on the blog. Unfortunately, ad networks aren’t exactly transparent about what they pay or what sorts of ads they will be running, so it may take a little bit of trial and error before I find an ad network that pays decently without burdening me (and all of you) with sleazy or obnoxious or disruptive ads.
So please be patient as I try different options. And if you see some wildly inappropriate ads popping up, let me know.
Thanks again for your support!
EDIT: Oh, and if you have suggestions as to ad networks I should look into, or that I should avoid, let me know!
The We Hunted the Mammoth Pledge Drive is on! If you haven’t already, please consider donating through the PayPal button below. Thanks!

Welcome to the Winter 2015 We Hunted the Mammoth Pledge Drive! Yes, this is the time on WHTM where I beg you all for money. So let’s get on with it:
If you enjoy this blog, and can afford it, please click on the “donate” button below and send a few bucks my way. Or, if you’d prefer, a lot of bucks.
Welcome to the new, improved We Hunted the Mammoth!
We’ve moved from WordPress.com and replaced the old WordPress theme with a streamlined custom theme. And we’ve been able to implement a number of long-requested features that will make navigation easier and commenting more pleasant. In related news, the Blockquote Monster has resigned to spend more time with his family.
Here’s an interesting little chart from Alexa. We Hunted the Mammoth is the green line; A Voice for Men is the yellow line:
Just a note: I’ll be on The Majority Report with Sam Seder today, talking to Matt Binder about Men’s Rightsers and whatnot. The show is live at noon ET; my segment will start roughly half an hour in.
You can listen to the live show here; an archived version will be available there as well. The Majority Report folks also put full shows and handy snippets of shows up on YouTube as well.
The somewhat-belated Second Quarter 2015 Pledge Drive for a New Improved We Hunted the Mammoth has come to a close, and once again I am humbled by your generosity.
Your contributions (monetary and otherwise) make it possible for me to not only continue with this blog but to improve it as well. Over the past year, this blog has been reaching more people than ever, regularly racking up more than a million page views a month.
We’re working behind the scenes to bring you a new, improved We Hunted the Mammoth — at least as far as the design of the site goes. As I think I mentioned earlier, I’m not doing anything radical. The aim is to streamline and declutter the site and to make it easier to navigate and use.
Here’s what to expect:
