Suggestion: Make a donation, if you can

[amh]

Hi guys,

It's so generous and thoughtful of Phillip to allow us this space for a new home.  It seems like we're all pretty happy and adapting quite nicely so far, and it hasn't even been 24 hours!

I just noticed the PayPal link on the right side of this site and made a donation as a small thank you.  I know a lot of people here are students, and money is tight for everybody, but if you can I just wanted to point out that in addition our words and respect, there is a way for us to thank Phillip that's a little more tangible and can help guarantee we have a safe place to call home.

A little help from a lot of people adds up and can go a long way!  So glad you're all here.

Great idea, Ann Marie.

And maybe for the starving students, those of us who can afford it can pay it forward and donate a bit more? I'm thinking the price of two movie tickets instead of one.

Update: I just did my part: $20 to Phil, two movie tickets plus some popcorn and a coke. Which starving student wants to go with me to the movie? I'm thinking Courtney :-)

Okay, friend--scoot on over to the thread with the pictures and you'll see the car I'm picking you up in.

Note from Phil: My apologies that I had to remove the contents of this particular message.  Google, which provides the ads you see on the sidebar of the forum, has a very strict policy about the promotion of certain activities related to the advertising.  Publishers like myself are required by the contract to ensure that inflation of advertiser costs (by inflating the number of clicks) do not occur. I think most of you can read between the lines on what this means.  In dealing with this matter, I have to choose my words extremely carefully.  I hate having to edit other people's messages, but this is a very sensitive area.  Thanks for your understanding!

I made mine-let's really support this site to make sure we always have a home.

I'm making this a "sticky" thread, meaning it'll stay at the top.  I don't want to make Phillip uncomfortable, as he's asked for nothing from us, but this is an amazing space, and he's done so much to welcome us.

I know I want to support it, and I'm sure lots of others are thinking the same.  So - check out the banner on the right side of the screen - PayPal link for donations, etc.(they help keep this place going).

Thanks Phillip, and thanks Anne Marie for getting this thread going.

Good thinking, Celeste, thank you for pointing this thread out. I was more than happy to contribute.

I do appreciate the contributions because they allow me to expand things around here, including BBM Radio which I should have enough money to expand to ten hours of unique music instead of just three (assuming I can find enough music to fill ten hours).  I also will be able to pay the server bills and be prepared to expand the account I have with the server to include higher traffic and more disk space plus invest in whatever useful features I come across.

hi phil.  i'm not sure what tracks you have on the radio, but i have some that have a connection to the film but weren't on the soundtrack or score you might be interested in.  let me know and i can upload them on yousendit.

Nat King Cole - Quizas, Quizas, Quizas
Pat Metheny - Spiritual (Annie Proulx listened to this for inspiration while writing BBM)
Allman Brothers Band - Melissa
Roger Miller - King of the Road
Willie Nelson - Streets of Laredo

i apologize if you already have these up, i haven't had a chance to listen to the radio yet.

I made my donation. Thanks so much Phillip, for this beautiful, peaceful site. I love the BBM radio!!

I haven't heard that much of it yet so forgive me if this is actually done already, but there were a lot of good posts on IMDb about songs that remind you of Jack and Ennis. Do you have lists of those threads? If not maybe we can start our own list here and there could be some additions made to the radio space from those suggestions.

Again, many thanks on letting us camp here with you!

I have some of them, but please remember there are a bunch of forums on here, including one specifically about Brokeback Mountain Radio.  I'd appreciate it if song suggestions go there so I can find them.

Done and done.

Thank you Phillip for the safe haven,

Thank you Ann Marie for the needed reminder--

You are so very, very welcome!

I'm going to unsticky this.  We can still continue to make donations.

[vkm91941]
