Updates

This is a update of for the General category.

We hope you’re all having a wonderful 2009 so far!

Starting today, we are running our semi-annual donation drive. Since the network has grown in size, these donation drives have ensured the TFL Network a place on the Internet with our web hosting provider, Beachcomber. We’ve been doing great for a few years, but at the moment we need some help. We have just enough to pay for our server bill for the upcoming month. If you’ve been considering donating to TFL, now is the time to do it! The donation drives is to 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! We’ve got a few options for those of you that are able to help out, with a few perks to say thanks! wink3.gif

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, anyone who makes a donation to TFL will receive a zip package of useful web resources – brushes and textures, even wallpapers to decorate your computer and show your support for TFL!

Of course, there are other ways to help out TFL. As many of you know, we also have a banner rotation available for you to advertise your fanlistings, collectives, fansites, etc. We are now offering a discounted rate for our banner rotation – you can now sign up for the price of $5 for 2 months, per site! It’s currently $5 per month, so you’re getting 2 for 1! We’ve also installed a new banner rotation script, which will allow two banners to be shown at a time on the site.

For those of you that can’t donate, but need to buy something from Amazon.com, you can also make Amazon purchases by clicking on the link on the TFL website. By purchasing through the TFL link, you’ll be giving TFL a few extra bucks through our referral program, without costing you any extra money!

And finally, while we’re here, we’d also like to announce our revamp of our awards section! Our site designer, Emma-Jane, has kindly donated new awards that match the TFL website. They are now sized at 150×50, and you will be able to choose from 7 different colors!

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.)

We appreciate everything the visitors put into the Network and we are incredibly grateful for your continuing contributions.
