No, I hadn't noticed that, thanks Gill!!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #59 on:** November 19, 2006, 21:23:46 PM »

Its is for Ron and yes he is a member.....have you seen the members list Des, its at the bottom of home page amongst stats and stuff

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #58 on:** November 19, 2006, 21:14:44 PM »

I thought it was for Ron too!! I Would prefer to pay by direct bank transfer, but as I said earlier, I was giving money to Ron on pay day anyway, so mine will be for that rather than this, if that makes sense. I Really do hope we earn lots of money for Ron seeing as he has had some financial issues. Is he a member of here yet??

Getting excited now (and as an extra bonus - I got a promotion in Sept and get all the backdated money this week so bring it on!!!!)

Tan · « **Reply #55 on:** November 19, 2006, 19:44:27 PM »

Ok as soon as i hear from Ron there will be a thread how to pay him via different ways for the auction and if anyone would like to make an extra donation if they want to.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Less than 96 hours to go before Auction time !!!!!

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #54 on:** November 19, 2006, 19:32:10 PM »

Roz - I too would prefer to pay by bank transfer as i do not have a paypal account (and have not intention of setting one up! Had my fingers burnt with these)

Roz · « **Reply #53 on:** November 19, 2006, 19:28:40 PM »

Hi Suzanne,

No, no-one would ever be 'outed'. As I said, it was just an idea but I'm really pleased that it has appealed to so many of the members.?

I intend to pay by bank transfer and I shall not disclose the amount I pay.? That is my business.? And the same goes for everyone else.?

When I said that we could reference the payment it was for Ron's convenience.? It would enable him to differentiate between a donation and an amount raised from the auction.

Am I any more lucid this evening than I was this morning?? It was those emoticons....they just got to me....

Absoultely no pressure on anyone, you can donate as much or little as you want or not at all.

?
That's fine!? I was just worried this "count me in" thing was making it sound a bit like you're in or your're out!? And that anyone who was "out" would be publicly outed, lol!

Great idea ?

Don't know anything about paypal though ?

Hope you enjoy your meal Tan ... I feel hungry now?

Tan · « **Reply #50 on:** November 19, 2006, 19:09:20 PM »

Me ere ?

At the mo the site is on our own web space but we have been looking to get a bigger web hoster so we can have all the pics we want and to have a big bandwith allowance to stop the little glitches in the connection due to our isp . ?We are in progress of find the best host. I did find a really cheap one but the reviews on them were awful saying the server was down all the time! Can't have that!!!
At the mo we still have 4GB of space left for this forum so will need to swap hosts soon. We need a bigger host for Chappie's (Mr Tan) new pc/ web design business so will put the cost to that.

Soooooooooooo what me trying to say is i would love it if any money you would want to give for the forum go to Ron cause nothin would please me more to be able to help more cats in his care. Esp in this cold weather.

I am waiting for Ron to come back to me if he has set his paypal account up yet and them i will put up in the fundraising section a paypal button and a link to email Ron for his bank details, so ya can pick how you want to send a donation and pay him any auction money when it finishes. The donation button will except any amount and won't be set.

I also had an idea to put a permenant donations section for rescues etc, then peeps can amke donations anytimr to thier chosen fund.
I will start a thread under Rescue for this a bit later today.

Gotta have din dins now cause i wastin away and it's a chinese yum yum

Sorry to sound like a misery guts, but I'm a bit concerned that we don't put pressure on people to make minimum donations or required amounts.? I don't want anyone to feel bad because they can't afford ?5 right now.? It's great to set up a paypal thingy for donations, but I don't see why there has to be any specific amount recommended.? If there's a way to donate then people can simply donate however much they want to (if they want) whether that be ?2, ?5 or whatever.? I'm sure all donations will be gratefully received.?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #47 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:59:48 PM »

Yes you can do that too

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #46 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:58:36 PM »

Another thing we could do - how about if people who win their bids add an extra ?5 (or whatever they can afford / think appropriate) when they send Ron payment for their item(s)?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #45 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:57:20 PM »

I am sure Tan will accept cheques or transfers if you PM her

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #44 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:55:42 PM »

Will there be other payment methods? Cheque, direct to bank ac etc

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #43 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:53:52 PM »

Yes all donations of any size will be gratefully received cos Ron has just lost his long term backer and his rescue and the cats are very needy this Christmas.

Please save some money to bid in the fun auction starting next thursady at 1900 ?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #42 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:52:53 PM »

yes i understand now.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #41 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:51:47 PM »

Thanks very much for posting Roz cos I am clear now and will get Tan to set up the Paypal link ?

tammy · « **Reply #40 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:51:27 PM »

I agree to donating but also go with an earlier post that we may not all be able to give ?5 as to some thats lots. Perhaps we should welcome who ever is wiling to donate regardless of how much as it will all mount up, all donations count as they all come from the heart!!

Roz · « **Reply #39 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:50:06 PM »

Hi everyone,

Sorry to have confused ya all but yes, my idea was that our pledge should go to Ron because he is the reason that Tan and her hubby set up this site so quickly following the demise of the Cat Chat Forum. ?We had decided to hold an auction especially for Ron because he has been overlooked in recent fund raising events and suddenly we lost our venue, without much warning! ?(that btw is a fact, not a criticism)

I do of course realise that Tan and her husband will probably incur expenses for this project and if there is anything we can do to assist in that department, I for one, will be very happy to help.

But my idea was that it would be such an endorsement of our appreciation of Tan & her husband's supreme effort and generosity in constructing this site so magnificently, that it would really make it so much more worthwhile if we responded by making the fund raising event even more successful....? ? ?

Does that make sense

Lots of love

Roz

Nick (Peanut & Boo) · « **Reply #38 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:46:45 PM »

yes I've just seen that part it is a bit ambiguous until you read that bit.
Oh well

shall we start another whipround for this site

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #37 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:44:30 PM »

I'm with Gill (I read the last part of Roz's thread in brackets 'all proceeds to Ron'). Thats not to say I do not think we should stump something up for the site but should do this seperately via say a membership charge of some sort?

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #36 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:42:06 PM »

found Reply 27 LOL

me still no understand

Nick (Peanut & Boo) · « **Reply #35 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:40:08 PM »

reading the thread title I took it to mean` for this site' ie costs to host the site :eh:

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #34 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:35:35 PM »

ive looked down the list twice and cant find post 27.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #33 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:29:10 PM »

Go down to post 27 where Roz is a happy bunny and I think that I am right but would like someone else to confirm that I am reading this right.

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #32 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:23:48 PM »

i took it that it was meant to be ?5 for tan and hubby !

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #31 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:20:36 PM »

I am confused, I just went back to Rozs original post and it ends up.................all proceeds to Ron..................have I misunderstood something :

Nick (Peanut & Boo) · « **Reply #30 on:** November 19, 2006, 18:16:24 PM »

very good point charlie bear.#

I thought the intention of this thread was exactly that.

I am not sure when it became a collection for Ron. This site is going to cost a lot to host and we can hardly expect poor Tan and OH to stump it all up.

Charlie_Bear · « **Reply #29 on:** November 19, 2006, 17:54:56 PM »

What about any costs that need to be covered to host this site? There is only so much space on Tanya and Steve's own web space, which they will probably need to use for their own business.

Soon I can see this site needing a larger web space and hosting as there are already loats of posting and photographs, which could cost a few hundred punds a year. I am sure anyone who is involved with hosting will know more about this as I am note sure how many GB will be needed. Plus we will need a domain name. Funds will be needed to cover all of this.

I think a subscription scheme will be needed to enable the site to continue.

Roz · « **Reply #28 on:** November 19, 2006, 17:54:18 PM »

Hi everyone,

Im soooooo pleased that everyone has come up trumps for this idea.? I'm not sure whether, when transferring funds, we could reference our donations with something like your name/Purrs Forum or something like that.

Because I don't do much with Paypal I shall transfer my money directly into Ron's account.? I'm sure for those of us who would prefer to pay this way, Ron could let us know his Bank Sort Code and Account Number.? We could have that info directly e-mailed to us couldn't we?? I have transferred funds this way many times in the past.

Other money raised via the auction could be referenced with name/item or name/item/auction (if space allows)

Best wishes,

Roz? ?(I got my three stars now....I'm a happy bunny?

)

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #27 on:** November 19, 2006, 17:43:08 PM »

OK OK listen up peeps, Tan is gonaa put a Paypal link on so you cann donate to Ron

Mimi (Mewg) · « **Reply #26 on:** November 19, 2006, 17:14:01 PM »

Yes, Paypal would be good!

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #25 on:** November 19, 2006, 16:22:44 PM »

Yes it is but the commission takes some of money away, however I suspect that will be the way to go but we dont want Ron getting confused when Auction money zooms in so we need to keep the two separated for ease for us behind scenes.

As I said will talk to my mate Tannikins and we will let you know where to send donations too .

you all

CurlyCatz · « **Reply #24 on:** November 19, 2006, 16:17:58 PM »

would pay pal not be easiest ?

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #23 on:** November 19, 2006, 16:15:41 PM »

I am sure we can arrange for somewhere for donations to be paid, but leave it with me and I will speak to Tan to find out best way

Linda (Bengalbabe) · « **Reply #22 on:** November 19, 2006, 15:29:23 PM »

More than happy to make the donation

sonya · « **Reply #21 on:** November 19, 2006, 15:27:21 PM »

Sounds like a great idea, im more than happy to pledge a fiver for Ron!
