Absolutely right! I put my donation in this morning. If we're enjoying the benefits of this site then it's only fair to help foot the cost, too. These guys do a lot of hard work around here.
And it's just occurred to me that the other day when I thanked Rob for all his hard work I shamefully forgot to mention Scribe and DoLarabee as well. A big thanks to you guys, too! And to all the other Admins!  There's a reason the site is growing so big, you know, and that's because it's a really great place.

Shopping through the amazon link helps the site so I've been considering buying this ($30)book (, Morgoth's Ring,) I'm saving up to get through it. I have a question about doing that, though. Do you need like a credit card or some such thing to do it? How does it work? I wont be able to order it through it if it does need a credit card, I'm only 17. I most certainly don't have one.

I have a question too!
The amazon.com link helps you, great. Does it still work from amazon.co.uk?
Im new to online shopping but im on a spending spree and would love to help this site by using amazon!!

I'll try to answer all in sequence;
1) Nillaithial and Andreth - many thanks for you words and support.
To those that did donate over PayPal; thank-you. We have been having some serious discussions about what to do as we needed to decide by the 20th if to extend the hosting plan, remove forum section, try to get a pay-members-only style thing going, stop releasing a small new section etc. You've made us smile this morning. Many thanks!
(Oh, and thanks to the Amazon purchaser  )
2) Uploading a picture; we were looking at this as a members-only feature but probably won't go down that track. We host a couple of avatars of members that have donated to the site, though; that's a very small price for us to pay for the support they have given.
3) Amazon do accept checks / cheques, money orders etc. There are a few exceptions, but books are OK. It will need to be in US funds. On amazon, the book is only $21 (plus shipping, unless you order something to make it $25, in which case shipping is free). So you may nearly be there (but don't bust yourself for it!).
4) Kalythianna & Ellbee, ur wlecome  Sorry for another foul up on this score but you all know the history. Now sorted, so thanks for telling me.
5) Mora, not at this stage no. Demand didn't appear high enough in the UK but there is no harm setting one up. I'll check what it invovles.
Thanks Guys!

$21? Good. I was going off of the price Borders charges. I have enough then. Right now I have $24 and as of Wed. I'll have $34. Going to go glance at it now to get a better idea as to how it works. Most likely will order the book. If not today, then sometime soon.

From Amazon.com - It typically takes two to three weeks for us to receive and process checks or money orders sent within the U.S., and about one month to receive and process international checks or money orders.
A MONTH?!  Does that mean that, not only do I not recieve my stuff for about a month, but you wouldn't benefit from it for a month, either?

The avatar I have is through www.theonering.ch/, you know, the place where you guys got the ones on here. My solution to the deletion of the avatar that are located on this site. I wouldn't be able to have one otherwise.

Please see the first post for the reasons why, or the article in the front page. It's quite clear.

So long as you have asked, then do as you like. Please note that we asked before using these avatars - this is clearly marked on the registration/profile page.
If you haven't asked, it only costs an e-mail. If they need for you to host it elsewhere, again, it only takes a few minutes to do.

That's good!
And a solution for others that like those avatars - but still try to make your avatar unique.

I've been doing all my amazon shopping through this site. Haven't made the big CD purchase yet, but I did get my MP3 player through it a couple weeks ago. I hope that the site gets a decent percentage of Amazon purchases....
I'll have to find a decent avatar for myself, somewhere. I never was good at that sort of thing. I guess I could just be avatar-less....there's something very Zen about that. Or maybe I can beg Ell to make me one like hers.  |

If it's not too much effort to set one up then I'd order through it. I've spent over £100 over the last few months (TT EE and Silm on audio CD - yay!), so when I start spending again I'd do so through here. Do you get a decent percentage?
Also, my Avatar comes from the offical site, should I be finding an email address from somewhere to ask them?

So. Just let me get this straight... To have an avatar is there no other way but to download one of those programs? I'm kind of technologically impared so some of that kind of confused me about how to get it on by way of your internet program, oh wait! Do you mean the router? Goodness I'll have to find the adress number...thing.
