I'll look into pouring some money in this if my finances allow it next week or so. :)

Wow awesome to hear and congrats! :D It seems that the comments in general are quite positive.

Off-topic: Regarding the kickstarter ad unrelated to your project in one of the news (I can't reply there since I don't feel like making an account yet, so I'll say it here), I believe that some ads work this way: You allocate a certain budget and how much you want to spend daily, then you target a certain demographic or region. The higher you spend, the higher the chances your ad will display when opening the page, but if you choose a wider audience, this might reduce the display chances. The budget is slowly depleted based on clicks (more expensive but more reliable) or page views. Once the entire budget has been depleted, the ad no longer displays at all. It's possible that they allocated an high amount of money to keep the ad displayed for a while, but the page got less traffic than expected. Another possible cause is that they might have chosen to allocate their ad budget every month but forgot to cancel it.
