Quote:Editor's note: This article has been updated with information from Snopes' GoFundMe page, comments from Snopes founder David Mikkelson and Karl Kronenberger, Proper Media's attorney.
It seems that the ongoing legal battle between Snopes and one of its former contractors is beginning to take a toll.
The popular debunking site published a plea to its readers Monday requesting they donate money to help keep its doors open amid a legal fight against Proper Media, a small digital services company that owns, operates and represents web properties.
Snopes' parent company, Bardav, Inc. and Proper Media both filed complaints against each other earlier this summer following the contentious termination of a contract between the two.
"Dear readers," begins the plea. "Snopes.com, which began as a small one-person effort in 1994 and has since become one of the Internet’s oldest and most popular fact-checking sites, is in danger of closing its doors. So, for the first time in our history, we are turning to you, our readership, for help."
Snopes is requesting readers donate $10 or more, either through GoFundMe.com or other means. According to Snopes' GoFundMe page, 845 people raised more than $20,000 of the $500,000 fundraising goal in just three hours, as of publication.
