Calling Once Again for Donations

When we first opened our doors in December of 2006, the generosity lent to our little rag-tag effort was both humbling and astonishing -- in the form of artistic talent for the banners, programming knowledge for the website and forums, and funds for the website and hosting dues. I was honestly amazed that we collected enough in those first few days not just to kick-start this fresh new habitat for Trip & T'Pol, but to keep it steaming forward for 3 years of fan fiction, avatars, music videos, fic challenges, fan art, fun, friends and community.

After recent renovations and construction, we are more prepared and enthusiastic than ever to keep adding it as long as you keep writing it; to keep moderating as long as you keep posting! In August, the hosting services purchased almost 3 years earlier will expire and we will need to renew our hosting plan and we would appreciate any funds you can part with. Our hosting agreement runs at $7.95/month for an exceptionally robust and luxurious plan that allows Mike and Dark_rain the flexibility to continue to improve and add to the site.

You can send Paypal funds directly to our Triaxian Silk Paypal Account that we used last time at elessar@triaxiansilk.com. If you're not setup for Paypal or wish to make payment via personal check, just contact me over PM and I'll provide whatever information you need.

Also, website donors still have the option to add the little "Site Donor" title to the Forum ID if desired.

Thanks again for your kindness and generosity... and I hope we're here for at least 3 more wonderful years! :D

By the way - I forgot to mention that I will be matching whatever the donation total is on August 1 2009 which is about 2 weeks before we officially have to renew.

Could you confirm how we do the Paypal thing? Go to paypal.com and enter elessar@triaxiansilk as the payee name?

Yes, assuming you have a Paypal account setup. Paypal addresses by email address and elessar@triaxiansilk.com is tied to our account.

We have officially reached our donation goal! We can renew for another 2 years!

I know that many of you still have donations in the mail. Don't worry, it sits in my Paypal account balance just like the left over donations did last time. After our first round of donations, we had about $100 left, which went towards the cost of changing hosts when we first migrated from MyInternetServices to HostMonster. Any remaining donations that come in will just contribute towards the next renewal!

I knew we would hit our number and you guys did NOT disappoint! Great job everyone! :happyjump: :hug: :hug:
