Donations (domain name)
Based on previous discussion, people here seem interested in this forum acquiring it's own custom domain name (i.e., instead of us being hosted at hobbitmovie.forumotion.com we would be at, for example, forumshire.com). The exact domain name has yet to be chosen - that is up to you guys - but with your support we can afford the rather small fee that Forumotion charges for this service. Every little bit helps and is greatly appreciated.

Re: Donations (domain name)
I'll donate £5 (or whatever, is that too much?) when I get home, probably shouldn't get engaged in any financial transactions sitting under a tree using a notoriously unsecure IPAD- well unsecure in the sense people always go on my facebook!

Re: Donations (domain name)
£5 is great! Fortunately it is not expensive to get a domain name through Forumotion.
Re: Donations (domain name)
Wouldn't a Brittish fiver be worth more than half the cost? $16.00 was it?
I'll send $5.00 (Aus) once I know where (via paypal). $10.00 if we're desperate. $16.00 if all else fails.

Re: Donations (domain name)
Yeah, a fiver is a big chunk of it right there. I'm hoping Forumotion will let me pre-pay for multiple years so I don't have to do this again next summer, but even if not, it's nice to have a reserve on hand.
The donation link is in the first post of this thread. A big thanks again to everyone!

Missus is in control of paypal - send soon (when the Missus is up - it's 1.14am here at moment!)

Re: Donations (domain name)
I could only send $10.00 (Aus) for some reason. Spend it wisely Eldo. But, I warn you, if I hear anything about a skiing holiday, I'll come looking for you!

Re: Donations (domain name)
At the moment I've got about 2,21 kroner (Norwegian currency, that's about $0.40 ), but I'll probably be able to sort something out over the next couple of days. I'll let you know

Re: Donations (domain name)
Thanks again everyone - very much! We're almost able to pay for the first year right now (and I still have yet to get around to figuring out PayPal for my own contribution). We should be good to go when the domain name voting closes in a few days.
So how do I make a contribution?
I'm sure there are obvious instructions somewhere, but I've missed them.
Re: Donations (domain name)
Just go to http://www.hobbitmovieforum.com/donate and click the link for PayPal or Allopass and hopefully the instructions should be self-evident from there.
Re: Donations (domain name)
On a different note, nice avatar, Paul I take it that's the cover of your book?

Thanks, Eldo! My contribution is flying through the ether right now.

Ringdrotten-
Thanks! That is indeed the cover of The Wobbit A Parody. Despite my shameless self-promotion, sales are still very slow, but remarkably steady.

Re: Donations (domain name)
That's great I really enjoyed the few bits I read back on the old forum, maybe I'll buy myself a full copy too sometime

Thank you very much, Paul!

Contributions don't fly through the ether, everyone knows that!

Re: Donations (domain name)
Any chance of sharing your secret of success Ringdrotten? (And if its join the army that wont help- tried that and they told me I would have to sober, sometimes for days on end! )

Re: Donations (domain name)
I'm afraid joining the army is the key, at least it has been for me - carrying backpacks through the woods at night pays surprisingly well
