Welcome fellow Phoenix clan members and guests!

I think we've had a great first few months here at thephoenixclan.com. Chat is relatively active (although we can always use more chatters--it gets lonely at night), I've recently installed better spam protection, an "upcoming birthdays" feature that checks up to a week in advance, and we have a few exciting new articles planned for you once CE hits.

Most importantly, however, I think we're all just happy to have our own home on the web. As you know, web hosting can get pretty expensive, and as our site continues to grow (the CE previews eat up some bandwidth with thousands of views) I will rely upon donations from those of you who regularly use the site to keep it up and running.

The amount that you donate isn't overly important--if you've only got a spare buck lying around, everything helps. If you have come to the site at least five times over the past few months, why not donate at least $1 US (heck, even if you're not Phoenix)? If you come here weekly, $5 might be good for you. Far be it from me, however, to ask for something for nothing. For those of you who can donate $20 or more towards our site's hosting, I will create a special site banner with the CE-Legal Phoenix personality or spell of your choice to be put in banner rotation, and consider including any flavor text you may wish. (note that flavor text is a "consider" based on feasibility of design and appropriateness of text) Please email instructions after your qualifying donation to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , and I'll get around to making the banner as soon as I can.

The link below will take you to the paypal donation page. Keep in mind that this community site is possible only because of the solidarity of the Phoenix!
