Guys, just to make sure you all know, this is what we posted on the NY Jedi site.
And this is me asking for your help. Sometimes a Master needs a hand from his Temple.
============================
Hello, everyone!
So, I'm sure you're wondering what happened to our website over the past week. Here it is in a nutshell. The Hosting service we were using, run by good friends of mine, and by nobody's fault really, had some kind of technical snafu where we were never sent an invoice over the last few years. So, as you may imagine, once the snafu was fixed, accounting kicked in and an automatic suspension took place.
We've spoken with the hosting people and they agreed that things do go awry sometimes and they are being generous enough to allow us back on-line for a brief time to communicate with our worldwide community to resolve the issue.
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
We been blessed with the fact that so many people around the world use our site and love what we do, and we're happy to have you! However, if you notice, the forum and our overall site have very few banner ads, pop-ups, and the like. Those few that we do have are a courtesy to the companies that have sponsored our club in the past with product, discounts, or services. We know you don't like to be barraged with ads, and neither do we. However, the bills do need to get paid. This isn't MySpace with a big corporate sponsor. (Fortunately, heh!)
In order for us to keep the site going, there is a very large bill to be handled immediately, and we want to make sure we play fair. After all, it is the Jedi way! While world-wide recognition is great, it doesn't pay the bills.
So please note that at the top of NYJedi.com and NewYorkJedi.com, there is a PayPal donation link where you can make a Paypal transfer to us so that we can keep this wonderful site going! Any dollar amount is great, but we're hoping you can send $10 or more. If everyone donated that amount, we could pay this bill, and take care of future expenses as well! (If you need to send in the donation via another method, contact Flynn at the email below.)
And to thank those of you that can do a larger donation of $50 or more (the first 50 people), you will receive a free NY Jedi T-Shirt! Yes, we are that cool! (please make sure to include your mailing address in the detail)
Thanks SO much, we really need your help. We hope you can help us keep this great club of ours going, and we're almost into our third year! THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!
May the Sabers be with you...
