TLA needs our help! Please!

[faramirsmumma]

Hey guys,

While we may be on a free server, www.thelastalliance.com is not. The majority of members came to us from TLA or have accounts. Being the oldest and greatest LotR Fansite (and while Ebob is a rival GW company, TLA also helps him) it is in dire straights. I recommened that if you have an account on TLA, or O-R, or TP, please donate to Mith on TLA. If TLA goes under, the burden of all of its memebers will be transfered to the other fansites, and then, the problem will arise again.

I ask for you to do as I have done, and donate just one pound a month (make little sacrifices, cut down on a can of coke or two a month) to prevent TLA from going down. 12 pounds for the year is nothing, and if you use the website, you should know about this already.

Ebob will back me up here, TLA is a great site, and it caters for other Manufactures, aside from GW. A lot of it's members know about Ebob's website, and I personally feel that Ebob's Tribes (along with all of his products) got a lot of free publicity from TLA. Budding scupltors who sell their products use TLA as a free advesting base.

Come on guys, every little bit counts, he's not asking for alot, just enough so that he doesn't have to fork out over $100 a month to keep the Website going.

Cheers all, and thank you in advance,

Alex

I have made several donatations via Paypal directly - but I think that TLA needs a more defined system of registration - like TMP. Members should pay a 6 month or 12 fee - (on TMP registered members gain a special icon next to their name - this shows who hasn't registered) and in return gain greater status and access to the site - commercial advertisers should pay a bit more and have access to upload news to the home - but this isn't rocket science and I've gotten rather tired of suggesting it and getting no response from Mith.

TLA is where I started when I got into the hobby - although I tend to spend more time on One-Ring now.

Yeah, I agree. I think Mith is setting it up though... meanwhile, I figure the cash is better for him now then later...

While I agree with what you say Ebob, I don't know why Mith wouldn't impliment it. I think the Admins are a little well, hesitant about bringing in new sponsors, after BGBM.

and its not $100 its a £100 which is considerable more, we must help TLA and £1 is nothing

But the $100 is in US Dollars. True, the UD Dollar worth very little, but it is alot to shell out every month to keep a website going. Especially if you have other interests.

Cheers Nick - Mith will be very grateful.

Also, if you are wondering why it is down now and has been down is due to Credit Card problems on Mith's end. Fear not, it will be back up again.
