EDITED:

Thank you all members who have contributed in the past. As Benji has offered to host us for free, we will not be requiring donations this year. Your concerns are very much appreciated!

Hey Benji,

Long time no hear.
How is life these days??

Trying to make a life out living like everyone else, thank you for asking.

Right now, I'm trying to save up for my violin, as the one now I absolutely HATE with shoddy workmanship and a horrible sound.

NEVER ever buy any instruments from Southwest Strings (http://www.swstrings.com), or any of these companies that are "jack of all trades" (selling anything from bongos to zylophones). By all means, buy an instrument (if you have to online) from a dealer that actually makes that instrument.

I've decided to purchase a "virtuoso" violin from http://www.stringworks.com

They seem to have excellent support, and even a message board where customers can post feedback (most have been overwhelmingly positive).

Here's two pictures of the "virtuoso", courtesy of a customer who purchased one:

Tell me what you think.

'' VM Fans Forum has to shut down! ''

I'm sure that many of you would be amazed and very disappointed if this would be true! I hear you thinking: ''This will never happen'', but I'm not so shure about that.

A few members spend a lot of time and money (mostly out of their own pocket) to keep this Forum alive. However, as you can read in the other messages, they run out of money!

I therefore would like to ask all members to spend some money. Iff all of us would only spend 10 Euro or Dollar each year (less than 1 Euro or Dollar a month), it would probably be enough to pay the bills at least this year.

I will donate my share. If you also want to spend some money to keep this forum alive, please contact haidee@vanessamae.org.

Thanks a lot

Regards,

Thanks bijsterg for your concerns! Yes, this was the case about a month ago when we were still needing funds to support a paid hosting service. Luckily Benji stepped in and offered us his hosting services for free. Now we have a secure home

It's really great to see members willing to chip in. If we do get into any kind of trouble at least we know we can depend on you guys.
