Koolan Posted July 29, 2009 at 11:59 PM Posted July 29, 2009 at 11:59 PM Yesterday, our web host got hit with a massive "denial of service" attack which lasted over 12 hours. As a result, the forum was inaccessible to some people around the world. I've decided to spend more money for a more reliable service to ensure this does not happen again. Please donate whatever you can to help us with our increasing costs. As an added incentive for others to help, any person who donates a minimum of $5 USD every month (PayPal will automatically deduct money each month) will be granted access to a skin with NO advertisements. Plus, these members will be placed in the "Donator" group, where they enjoy special benefits as outlined below: Benefits of becoming a Donator:access to skins with NO advertisementslarger Personal Message (PM/MP) inboxunlimited attachment space for images, photos & per messagebigger personal photolonger time to edit own postsless search "flood time"avoid post "flood control"have a Donator icon below their avatarscustom member title (text) under avatarNO need to reply to view hidden content in posts One-time donations are welcome too, our paypal email is PayPal Monthly Subscriptions (Donate every month)Click here to donate $5 monthlyClick here to donate $10 monthlyClick here to donate $15 monthlyClick here to donate $20 monthlyClick here to donate $25 monthlyClick here to donate $30 monthlyClick here to donate $50 monthlyClick here to donate $75 monthlyClick here to donate $100 monthly Quote Please support the forum by ordering through our Amazon.com referral link below.

angelil78 Posted July 30, 2009 at 12:10 AM Posted July 30, 2009 at 12:10 AM I hope people will donate. I was so sad I couldn´t enter CDF yesterday. Everyone much afford 5$ at least, at least people that are working... Quote
nuts2you Posted July 30, 2009 at 12:41 AM Posted July 30, 2009 at 12:41 AM thank you for expaning this. I will be glad to donate. once I pay off my CCard.which is small. Quote
Edwin Posted July 30, 2009 at 02:14 AM Posted July 30, 2009 at 02:14 AM What if you want to do a one time donation. Would each $5 give you a month of donator status? For example, $15 = 3 months to enjoy donator benefits? Quote
Koolan Posted July 30, 2009 at 02:34 AM Author Posted July 30, 2009 at 02:34 AM The minimum one-time donation to become a Donator is $30, which is good for 6 months. Quote Please support the forum by ordering through our Amazon.com referral link below. Click here to go to the Amazon homepage.
MTJ Posted July 30, 2009 at 04:26 AM Posted July 30, 2009 at 04:26 AM I think it's ridiculous of people not to donate. As someone was saying before, Team Celine is f-ing $40! The forum has many more benefits than Team Celine. Give the forum that $40! Quote
blowingbubbles@celine Posted July 30, 2009 at 09:10 AM Posted July 30, 2009 at 09:10 AM now i see hoe to donate etc i will do that today as i think this site is much more worth my money and you all make it fun to come back Quote http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/celinelover50/BannerCelineTwo.png
angelil78 Posted July 30, 2009 at 01:55 PM Posted July 30, 2009 at 01:55 PM thanx guy´s for donating And also, when there is any news about Céline, you hear it here first and days/weeks later you hear it from Team Céline. All the stuff you can download from here is just amazing! I can only imagine what kind of server is needed to keep this place running and it´s worth it to spend at least 5$ a month Quote
Edwin Posted July 30, 2009 at 01:59 PM Posted July 30, 2009 at 01:59 PM Team Celine is $40! The forum has many more benefits than Team Celine. Give the forum that $40! I agree! Or any little bit that you can helps! Quote
J-Man Posted July 31, 2009 at 09:36 PM Posted July 31, 2009 at 09:36 PM Yeah guys, do donate. This site is a true haven for all Celine fans. If it goes there really isn't anywhere as all encompassing as it. I only recently became a donator, but I'm so glad that I finally did. If you are thinking of renewing your membership to Team Celine, I agree that you should consider this non profit making, "fan club" instead. We're a community, we have all made friends here and discovered so many wonderful things about Celine that we may have never known or seen. Think about the efforts currently being made to have a gettogether of forum members in London for the Taking Chances DVD release, look at the Multimedia section where we have all been able to download amazing things like the Brunei concert, or the Wintergarden show. The forum could have asked for donations to allow these things to happen, but they didn't ask because that's not in the spirit of our community. So let's share the love and the wealth! (What little we have left) Yes Koolan is an admin, but why should he & Bellamy put their own money into maintaining the forum, if we who regulary use it, (and judging by the amount of people with 1,000+ posts out there, that is several), pay nothing at all. These guys are not employed by Feeling you know! Thanks B&K for all you and the mod team do. Here's hoping the forum survives and thrives! Quote http://www.powerofthemusic.com/other/FORUMSIG1.png

angelil78 Posted August 1, 2009 at 03:27 PM Posted August 1, 2009 at 03:27 PM no way! that´s so sad!! Now it´s 1st of August, people should be getting they paychecks now (those who are working), or on monday. Maybe something will happen then Quote
Timster Posted August 1, 2009 at 04:20 PM Posted August 1, 2009 at 04:20 PM If I didn't have the expense of flying lessons then I would definately donate, but at the moment it's not possible for me... Quote
nrcda88 Posted August 2, 2009 at 12:29 AM Posted August 2, 2009 at 12:29 AM With over 300 views of this topic, not one donation have came through. That's pretty sad! It really is! This forum rocks, there's no other like it nor will ever be. I really hope some more people decide to help out soon.

ladylindsey Posted August 7, 2009 at 02:21 AM Posted August 7, 2009 at 02:21 AM Everyone please donate! The Céline Dion Forum is hands down the best place for Céline fans to unite and keep in touch! The fact that there are so many of us is a testament to our lovely Céline and the moderators and admins keep this site in tip top shape! $5.00 a month in perspective is less than the cost of ONE fast food meal! So what have we learned here? Céline > Fast Food Please donate if you can! It will give you warm fuzzies and help the greatest fans in the whole world stay connected to each other and to their lovely Queen Céline! Who is greater than fast food. Quote

angelil78 Posted August 12, 2009 at 06:35 PM Posted August 12, 2009 at 06:35 PM What is a VIP Donator? Quote
Bralo20 Posted August 12, 2009 at 07:55 PM Posted August 12, 2009 at 07:55 PM What is a VIP Donator? Don't know, received the status one day on another Don't think there are any benefits to it I'll try to send a donation on a regular base. Maybe because the donations have a little higher amount? Anyway, I wouldn't know, I noticed it once and I didn't care to ask about it. A status on a board doesn't mean anything to me. Even if there was something like "1st class jerk" I wouldn't mind either Quote ...
Bralo20 Posted August 12, 2009 at 07:57 PM Posted August 12, 2009 at 07:57 PM So come on folks, start donating to our lovely board! It's worth every single Dollar you donate! Quote ...
Edwin Posted August 12, 2009 at 08:14 PM Posted August 12, 2009 at 08:14 PM (edited) This was what Vic wrote about it when the group was created. Celinefull was our first VIP Donator! Increased limits/storage for everything Edited August 12, 2009 at 10:09 PM by Edwin Quote
Koolan Posted August 12, 2009 at 10:05 PM Author Posted August 12, 2009 at 10:05 PM This was what Vic wrote about it when the group was created. Celinefull was our first VIP Donator! Increased limits/storage for everything and free web hosting on one of our servers. I thought I told you Stijn. Members whom donate $30 or more every month will become a VIP Donator.
