Time to Pass the Hat
 
A little curiosity and checking points out that we have not a non-fund raising thread in a while. Do y'all realize that we are approaching the LoT's 4th birthday?

I don't know about you, but the LoT is so much more than just another message board. It is a place where I can hang my hat and visit with friends. Y'all aren't just a bunch of anonymous posters: you are all my friends. Even if I haven't met you IRL, I still feel a close bond to each and every one of you (well, except Moonliner: I just tolerate him for the sake of peace, love and harmony).

So that we may all continue to enjoy our happy little slice of the internet, won't you take a minute to scroll to the bottom of this (and every other) page and click the "Click to Pay" button? It doesn't cost a lot to maintain this joint, but I certainly think that the least we can do is help out the hep cats who run this joint by throwing a couple of bones their way. Go ahead and do it now and you'll get these warm fuzzy feelings. And you won't need to take penicillin for it!

Who knows: they may even feel inclined to update that donation page:

Also looks like you need to clean up the closing page as well:

It also lists LoT with the xenarchy.com address.

Kevy Baby 11-20-2008 11:38 PM

Okay, that' bizarre. When I copied the text above, it showed the Xenarchy URL. WTF?

Ghoulish Delight 11-20-2008 11:41 PM

We're such money-grubbing whores that we haven't looked at our donation page since 4 years ago.

I think we set up a global rule on the board to replace any instances of xenarchy.com with loungeoftomorrow.com. Sometimes we're smart.

Stoat & I couldn't resist - after all, LoT's our lifeline to the USA. How else would we learn of Aerosol Cheese & other important American issues ?

Our Cheese is Happy.


...BTW: the exchange rate SUX at the moment. I hope it gets better come March.....

Bump

Judging by the dearth of posts in this thread, I am concerned that there hasn't been much action on this. Maybe I wasn't clear.
The LoT is not terribly expensive to run, but there are costs involved. I think it is fair if those of us users who aren't Mods/Admins chip in a little to cover the cost. If everyone chipped in $5 or $10, I am sure that would cover it. Just click the Amazon Honor System link at the bottom of the page, and throw the powers that be a bone.
Your cheese will be happy.

Am I the only one who gets this message at the top of the Amazon page?

You can just send it to Lisa's email addy, which I am pretty sure you have.

Hmm... I don't remember getting something like this when I donated a couple of weeks ago.

katiesue 12-12-2008 04:04 PM

That's because -

I just found that when I looked again.

WOW! I'm glad they told me. :rolleyes:

I guess we can go directly through paypal, but then I have to figure out how to get it to my back account to pay the bills. My paypal account is under firstlast@gmail.com , however, I don't think you can be anonymous and I know some prefer that.

Ghoulish Delight 12-14-2008 07:13 AM

I believe PayPal has a similar "Donations" thing if you want to look into it.

Kevy Baby 12-29-2008 01:40 PM

Was a resolution ever found? I know NA hasn't been doing much lately and has loads of free time on her hands. ;)

wendybeth 12-29-2008 02:02 PM

I'd like to kick in as well, of course. Can we just send it to Lisa's PayPal account?
