How to make your donation!

[The Sigil]

Let's make a miracle...

I feel like I'm one of the extras in "It's a Wonderful Life..."

MARY: Come on in here now. Now, you stand right over here, by the tree. Right there, and don't move, don't move. I hear 'em now, George, it's a miracle! It's a miracle!

She runs toward front door and flings it open. Ad lib SOUNDS of an excited crowd can be heard. Uncle Billy, face flushed, covered with snow, and carrying a clothes basket filled with money, bursts in. He is followed by Ernie, and about twenty more townspeople.

MARY: Come in, Uncle Billy! Everybody! In here!

Uncle Billy Mary and the crowd come into the living room. A table stands in front of George. George picks up Zuzu to protect her from the mob. Uncle Billy dumps the basketful of money out onto the table –– the money overflows and falls all over.

UNCLE BILLY: Isn't it wonderful?

The rest of the crowd all greet George with greetings and smiles. Each one comes forward with money. In their pockets, in shoe boxes, in coffee pots. Money pours onto the table –– pennies, dimes, quarters, dollar bills –– small money, but lots of it. Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Hatch push toward George. More people come in. The place becomes a bedlam. Shouts of "Gangway –– gangway" as a new bunch comes in and pours out its money. Mary stands next to George, watching him. George stands there overcome and speechless as he holds Zuzu. As he sees the familiar faces, he gives them sick grins. Tears course down his face. His lips frame their names as he greets them.

UNCLE BILLY (emotionally at the breaking point): Mary did it, George! Mary did it! She told a few people you were in trouble and they scattered all over town collecting money. They didn't ask any questions –– just said: "If George is in trouble –– count on me." You never saw anything like it.

Let's make a miracle, folks.

I'm there. Relax, it will work.

Sent $20 via ERP. Wish it could have been more, but that's all I have access to at the moment.

However, WHEN (not if) we get past this bump, I'm going to make sure I donate on a regular basis to help keep this place going. I read the boards every single day while at work, and the a mere $20 in a time of trouble does not come close to amount of fun I get from this place.

$400 a month...we can do it.

Any update on how much has been collected so far?

$20 sent to Mr. Noah. Thank you for starting the site and thank Morrus for keeping it going!

Hey Morrus! Thanks for running a great site!

I've made a $20 donation to ExpR Press.. I'd donate more, but I'm unemployed right now..

Count me in for $100 via Expeditious Retreat Press. Can I apply that towards some ad space impressions, later?

I share the sentiment of those who have discussed the spirit of community EN World holds. It's nice to be a part of this "family".

Oh, and can we discuss this monthly fee... $400/month?!? Ouch. Over at CI Host, I can get 5,000MB, Unlimited xfer, 1 FTP, Unlimited mySQL DBs, and 1 SSH for $20/month. For another $10/month I could get 12 FTP, 12 SSH, a Miva Merchant Shopping Cart, and 1 Majordomo Listserv.

$40 from me! It woud eb cool to get a community supporter thingy out of it I guess, but we can sort all of that out later.

It's funny, I was looking through an ld email in box the other day and sw a recipt from pay pal from last time I donated money to ENWorld...

I hope everyone donates enough, cos I'd really miss this place.
