Description:
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the years of nice comments, thank yous, help, and many other things you have given me. I truly appreciate it all. But now, unfortunately, despite my objections towards it, I must ask you for help financially.

What?! Why?
Very good question. Here's the problem: I don't personally own a credit card or a PayPal account, and I don't currently have a job. (I am only 18 for those of you who don't know this already. It's not a thing I like to go around telling people. :P ) Therefore I can't pay for my site's renewal bills myself. At one point I was hosted for free by a member of the community.

I moved to this host (Lypha) about one year ago. Before that, I was hosted at Bravenet, and before that, I was hosted by my brother under his domain. (Anyone remember djssims.deepmyth.com? :P)

But during all this time, I've never had to pay. Why? My parents were always willing to do it for me. Well, it's been one year since I signed up with this host, and since we decided it would be best to pay a year in advance since it's cheaper in the long run, I have to pay for this entire next year now.

Now here's the big problem: This year my parents who paid in the past for my hobby, suddenly decided that I must pay for this all before I will be allowed to charge it on their card. Big problem. I don't have 95.40 for the hosting and 14.95 for the domain, so I wouldn't be able to pay. Therefore, there would be no site as of tomorrow.

However, I was able to make a compromise with my parents. If I pay them back before the bill arrives, they would allow me to charge the renewal fee to their card.

That's where all of you come in! Or at least that's what I hope! :) Once I get enough to cover the renewal fee, I will be removing the button, so I will not be making anything extra on this. In the event that I don't turn it off fast enough, the money will be applied to future renewal fees. :)

Will Donators Get Anything in Return?
Other than my true appreciation and thanks, no, they won't get anything in return. I feel that if people want to donate, they will do so out of the goodness of their heart, and I don't feel comfortable doing what is essentially bribing people for a donation.

Who do Those Donations go to?
The donations are going to my mom's PayPal account, and she will be able to transfer the funds from there to her bank account to pay the credit card bill when it comes. Yes, her name is Karen Smith, so that is all accurate, no need to worry about anything. :)

So I Can Just Click on That Button to Donate?
Yes, if you want to, it's that easy! :)
