Updates

This is a announcement update of donations and advertising for the General category.

Wow, time really flies, doesn’t it? It seems like 2007 just arrived and we’re already into the holiday season once again.

Starting this month (today in fact!) we are running our annual holiday donation drive. Over the last two years these donation drives have ensured the TFL Network a place on the Internet with Beachcomber, our web hosting provider. Beachcomber is a lot less patchy than previous hosting providers, which is essential for the satisfaction of our visitors. The donation drives also ensure that the Senior Staff isn’t funding the Network out of our own pockets. We love you guys, we truly do – but we’re not made out of money!

At the moment TFL is doing quite well – we have just around $1,000 in Paypal and Text Ads, which is keeping us steady. Despite this apparent good state, we want to ensure that this doesn’t change for the coming year. Our current donations and text ads help keep us going, but we like to keep a bit extra on hand just in case things dry up. You never know when you’ll need an emergency fund, after all.

At the moment, we offer a variety of “web goodies” for our donators. The donation package for any amount allows private messaging on the board with fellow donators, staff members and Senior Staff. Along with this really useful privilege, donators who send over $20 receive a zip package of useful web resources – brushes and textures, even wallpapers to decorate your computer and show your support for TFL!

As many of you know, we also have a banner rotation available for you to advertise your fanlistings, collectives, fansites, etc. For a limited time only, you can sign up for the banner rotation and have TWO sites added to the rotation for the price of just ONE. That’s right, 2 for 1! Just follow the normal procedure for the first site, and then send a 2nd form for the 2nd site you wish us to add. You will receive only ONE invoice charging you for the price of ONE site, but both sites will be added for the length of time that you purchased. So whether you want to advertise for 1 month or an entire year, you will get an additional site advertised for free.

As always, we encourage donations both big and small and we appreciate everything that our wonderful visitors have contributed over the years. (However, please keep in mind that Paypal charges us fees, therefore donations LESS than $1 are generally eaten up entirely by those fees.)

TFL wishes everyone a joyous and prosperous holiday season. We appreciate everything the visitors put into the Network and we are incredibly grateful for your continuing contributions.
