i hope absolutely no one has been tricked into donating.

We have set this group up so anyone can join and we are not having it
moderated . I think it is time that we let members say what they think
about pay sites or free sits.

I really do not understand what the fuss is all about. If some one does
not beleive in pay sites that is ok. If someone does beleive in them
that is fne too.

Makes no difference how one feels as long as they don't disrupt the
whole community with it.

Now speak your peach

Her newest message:

Here is what I have come up with for our site now.

When you enter the site you will see a donation button. This is a
2.00 minum bottom to help to pay for expense .

In the colum below that you will see a custom donation button. If you
click on that one this is where you will pay a fee to it will take
you to a page that explains what you have to do in able to get the
custom objects and room sets. :-)

It is very easy so click on the button that says custom donations.

Now let us get it going as the host charges is due very soon, and I
can't get a hold of them where I use too
So I will have to contact them another way.

Our charges are over $60.00 and plus keeping it up and the bandwidth.
If you want to see this site stay on line Start Donating to it now.

Thank you Jan

Die Meshkiste ist für einige Tage geschlossen. Ich möchte damit meine Solidarität zu den Payseitenbetreibern bekunden, die für die Meshkiste völlig kostenlos gebastelt haben.

No Downloads for some days. To express solidarity with the pay site owners, who aswell create free content for the Meshkiste.

Now I feel like...
...the African-American ghetto kid bussed to the white suburban school.
...the overweight, uncoordinated kid that gets picked last EVERY time in gym class.
...the shy girl, wearing the oversized threadbare sweater you pass in the halls without a single glance, let alone a kind word.
...the girl all the “popular” girls spread rumors about how promiscuous she is because they can.
...the mentally challenged kid that gets picked on because he is “just like Forrest Gump”.
...a Jew in Nazi occupied Europe.
