Mister Underhill has been trapped in the Barrow!
Eye The Downs Needs You!

Hello, fellow Wights.

As you can see, it's been years since the question of Downs financial issues have been raised. But now the bill for hosting the site and the forum has come due -- on 4/21/10, to be exact.

$142 will keep these shadowy mounds bathed in their trademark eerie green glow for another 2 years. We've already passed the hat in the mod forum, but since that's a pretty steep figure to be footed by the few remaining active mods and admins, we thought it would be a good idea to give our membership the opportunity to lend a hand.

So, if you enjoy the Downs and want to see it continue, and if you have a bit to spare, donations are kindly accepted via PayPal (follow the link to learn more) deposit to the Barrow-Wight at bw@barrowdowns.com

If you'd like to contribute but don't want to use PayPal, I suggest contacting BW via the aforementioned email address or by private message, and I'm sure he'll be happy to work out an alternative method with you.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I think I can spare a few bucks. Have you ever looked into amazon's system for collecting contributions? I know of a few other fan-type sites that use it, and I seem to recall that it doesn't have the extra processing fee.

I suppose I'll throw some cash your way as well. It seems to be the only way I'll ever get rid of that ghastly 'Ghost Prince of Cardolan' tag.

Seriously though, give this man a title, he if any deserves it.

Edit: Will you pay me too, Morth?

Alas! the ever spiralling cost of bribery. I suppose adding to your reputation doesn't count?

Thumbs up

Because I finally got paid today, I thought I'd send in some money to the nice people who allow me to publish a stupid little newspaper.
