Your help needed please

Feels like we've been here forever doesn't it? I know I don't post as often as I should but I still pop on now and then to see what you're all up to and how life is treating you, so even if I don't say anything, I still think of you all. I know that goes for MA, Dot and LS as well.

So, the reason for this post? I had to buy the domain name, www.twi-older-fans.com so that we had a unique name for our special home and now this is coming up for renewal and, being the only person in our house, I'm afraid I can't afford the money to keep the domain name.

I have spoken to the ladies and we have agreed that we would ask for donations to keep the site name BUT this doesn't mean you are obliged to donate. Your membership of the forum does not depend on your sending a donation. Everyone is still as welcome here as they have always been.

Any money that is left over will be used for future years to keep the domain name and anything else that MA, Dot, LS and I feel will be to the benefit of the site.

I hope you don't mind me asking, and again, please don't feel that you have to donate. If you would like to, please click on the 'donate' button on the portal page. (Thanks for the heads up Dot) x

Thanks everyone

I dont mind send in some money Ill do it on the first when i get paid.

If I may ask what is the cost? I will gladly help but who to send it to? And how will it convert from US? Sorry I just dont know how it all works lol I may not be able to send much but I will help with something

Sorry Brandie, should have said, it's £25 for a year (about $40)

You can either click on the 'donate' button or send via the email address for that account which is drea.phillips62@gmail.com. PayPal automatically converts the amount from dollars etc. to English pounds.

Again, do not feel you have to donate. Anything that's left over though will be put aside to pay for next year.

Drea, FYI the "donate" button didn't work for me. I have a paypall account. The money has been sent.

Thanks for being such a "techie"!

I didn't think it was working but wondered if that was just because I set it up. Damn! Thank you Dot, I have received your very generous donation xxx

You are very welcome, Drea. Anything for our Twilight family!

i will send some in the next week

I'll send mine tomorrow.

Ok stupid question when we send dollars to the account does it convert to pounds. Geez this all so confusing but come the first Ill send my money.

thanks for this notice...i'll be sending mine through paypal if i can figure it out

Received Natalie, thank you SO much x

Brandie, Sandra, no panic

Naomi, not a stupid question at all. Yes, it does convert it for you. I've received dollars so far that PayPal converts for me so I don't have to do the maths.

I will be donating asap

Thanks so much everyone.

sorry I havent got mine sent yet had some trouble with my bank account could you please message me the info for where to send my donation using paypal please! thank you

No rush Brandie. It's drea.phillips62@gmail.com

Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far x

Drea I hope you got the money i sent for you? I used my BF paypal acct as I dont have one.

I did yes, thank you so very much Naomi x

I'll post soon about how much we've got to keep you all in the know.

np glad to help out. I never really thought that you had to pay for it. You should keep up the donation button that way you dont have to spend your money on the site.

Im sure as members we wouldnt mind donating to help keep this site up.

I am happy to send some in as well I just need a couple for weeks till my tax refund arrives, I am the only one in my house as well that has an income. What better use to put the governments money though.

It's just the name we have to pay for thankfully. The money that's left over will go into the 'Twi-Older-Fans' fund for whatever we need it for.

Melissa, no rush and thank you. I agree, no better cause for the Government's money!

I'm happy to say that we are Twi-Older-Fans for another year, and I have enough left over to pay for next year as well!

Thanks to everyone for your contributions

thanks for keeping us up and running everyone!!! and to all the wonderful Admins who work so hard to keep us afloat!

Just sent mine. A little late. I need bigger and better brains

Yes, got it, thank you Johanna. Better late than never.

We now have just under £40 (not sure of the exchange rate) but plenty to keep us going for the next 2 years.

Thanks again to you all xxx
