Cyan has said they'll still accept direct donations by Paypal, but Kickstarter is done. KS lets the artist set any deadline up to 60 days. However, 30 is the most successful plan, and that's what Cyan chose. It seems that any longer period allows the momentum to slump too much between the initial excitememt and the deadline rush. --Z -- "And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these were the borogoves..." *
