THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!! 13 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 12
I want to thank everyone for stepping up and helping with the fund raising last night. Wiccan, you are incredible! You jumped right in, got the info we needed and then contacted everyone and got the rock rolling and KEPT it rolling! R0o, Whisper, Wicked, Rikayu, DemonQueen, FayeMegan, Terri-tots, Fox of Twilight, Naraku, TangerineDream, VelvetSometimes, R.M.Avalon, all of you, thank you for keeping Dokuga available to all of us! We are a community, a crew, a clan, a family. Dokuga is more than just a fan fiction website, it is our clubhouse, a place where we go to learn our craft and share our efforts, a safe place to try new things, a place of support and friendship. You are all awesomesauce with fresh whipped cream and a cherry on top!

I love you all and forgive my poor memory, if I've forgotten anyone... Let Me Know!!! I am more than happy to add EVERYONE to this thank you! You ALL Deserve It!!!

This is starting to make sense... time to up my medication.

I live in my own little world, but it\\\'s okay, they know me here.

Even if the voices are not real - they have some pretty good ideas!

I don\\\'t suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.

Until further notice, celebrate everything!

You're more than welcome Dokuga and I want to thank all of you too!!! ;; This place... this place isn't just a website. It's a support network, and even deeper than that... it's a family. And I'll be more than happy to keep helping as much as I'm able.

I love you guys. I really do. There's more to be said but to prevent this post from becoming a sappy ramble and an overall gooey mess... I'll leave it here.

You guys are amazing. I'm honored to have met you... all of you.

I'm brainded at the moment, so I can't think of anything overly sappy to say other than "NOT A PROBLEM" (:

I guess the hosting hadn't been paid, and nobody really knew about it. I hit Google when I realized something was up and found the Yahoo group, and luckily there was an announcement there.

I am really happy to see that so many people helped out overnight and got the site back up already.

I'm so happy so many people came through for Dokuga.

I wish I could be on that list, but I'm going through weeks where I barely have $5 to my name, let alone to spare .

I was so relieved to wake up to that message from Wiccan this morning. I think I was going through Dokuga withdrawal after about the first hour.

I had no idea what was even going on. I just knew Dokuga was down. Was there a funding issue?

I couldn't have said it better...I'll keep offering up writing commissions in hopes I can help in the future

On behalf of the administrators we'd like to thank all of you who have made this possible.

Now, our jobs aren't over yet, as a word of warning. Wiccan is going to look into hosting tonight and fees we'll need to pay. We may or may not switch hosting companies depending on whether or nto we can find what we like. We still have to pay for the upcoming year which means there will be more fundraising.

That being said, we are giong to introduce fundraising initiatives and those who have already donated will be included in that. Details will come but I already have a list of artists adn writers who will donate stories and art as prizes, which is a big help.If you think you might want to be among them, drop me a line and let me know. Everybody who donates something, whether it's a prize or monetary will receive a supporters banner eventually from me.

So, stay tuned for official details once we figure out what we need. but THANK YOU from the bottom of your hearts for this. Our troubles aren't over yet but we'll do the best we can to get through them.

thank you so much for being so awesome guys. especially for keeping it available to all. i simply have no words *tears a bit*

I'm so glad for the generosity of everyone. Dokuga is a wonderful place and I'm happy we're able to keep it going. I definitely feel as though we are one big family of sorts.

Thank you everyone! (L)

This is the best site on the internet in my not-at-all-humble opinion, made so by the people who come here. Hairann is just one of the writers who has volunteered to write one-shots for donations...and THAT is an incredible offer when you consider how excellent an author our Hairann IS! That is just one example of how we can help to keep our Dokuga alive!

Priestess Skye is right, however, we will all need to step up and do our share to keep Dokuga in existence. If you don't have any budge in your budget, then do as Hairann has offered to do and write a one-shot for a donation, or do arts for donations. We are a creative bunch, come up with something exciting. Dokugasonas for donations??? There are so many ways to do this, ways we can all share and enjoy!

I'm so glad we are a close community like this, and that we were able to pull through together! Thank you to everyone.
I should be having some extra money in a few weeks, I'll be sure to donate what I can.

If it can be any help, not that I'm the greatest writer, but I'd be more than happy to offer to write oneshots for donations!

Re:THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!! 13 Years, 11 Months ago Karma: 54
You're making me blush Rowdy Just let me know when you got any info I need, like who it's for and if there is a prompt requested and I'll get started on it .

And yes not all of us can afford to donate money, hubby and I are living off of one part time check and we just bought our first house. We may not be in debt, thankfully, but have no money to spare.

I'm just happy that there are ways that people like me can give back to the site and to those that are able to spare some money to keep us going. The way I see it, writing a story or creating a piece of art is the very least we can do to give back not only to the site that has brought us all together and created one of the largest families in the world, but also to thank and show our appreciation to the amazing Dokuga Ladies, and Gentlemen, that give their hard earned money to keep this family together.

I'm with Hairann & Madi on this. One paycheck to a household with three kids leaves us barely 2 pennies to rub together after all the bills are paid & groceries are bought (do you know how much food 3 boys can go through? >_<).

That being said, I, too, would be more than happy to offer one-shots or dokugasonas/fanarts for donations. I'm hoping that when taxes roll around I'll have enough spending money to put some cash on my prepaid credit card & then I'll be donating monetarily as much & as often as I can.

I agree. Wiccan, Lady B and I don't want anybody to be out of house, home, food or in dire straits. You and yours come first. Wiccan and I both come from families were it is tough to stay afloat and I work three jobs to do so.

Before the site went down I had been putting together a fundraising initiative because we knew we'd have to pay for next year's hosting and I have a list of artists adn writers who were willing to donate, and its' grown exponentially since we went down. If you want to donate a commission to a donator you can PM me to be put on this list. So far I have some unique prizes such as stories, banners, art, sketches, I have a fwe volumes of manga I'm offering up, bracelets for others. Once we figure out what our goal is I'll finalize all plans.

I wanted to come help out but I had no idea where to LOOK. >.>

I read the System Message that went out this morning, but where is the supporters page? I wanted to make a donation..but again..no clue where to look. >.<

And as I cannot get into DokugaChat while I'm at work I can't just pop on and ask those guys either

Supporters Page

For future reference, just scroll down to the bottom of any page, it's found here the gray links starting with About Us and Contact Us.

Edit: The donation button isn't up yet though, I believe the system wide said it would be available tomorrow.
