Support Guinea Lynx in 2015!!
- Lynx
- Celebrate!!!
Guinea Lynx is now 16 years old! (Sweet 16!) Some content has been available since 2000, hosted on another site, moved to another temporary host (thanks, Teresa!) and finally to its own site here. The current board dates back to 1/1/2002 (there was a temporary board before that).
Thanks to current and past members, Guinea Lynx has been going strong for all these years! A number of members have been active since the beginning. We even have a crew of "former guinea pig caretakers" who still love and care about guinea pigs around the world.
I remain firmly committed to keeping Guinea Lynx Google-ad-free (THIS is what Guinea Lynx could look like without your help: https://www.guinealynx.info/sample.html ). So if any of you are willing to help cover the costs associated with running this board (hosting/internet, reference books, etc.) which have unfortunately increased, your donation would be greatly appreciated. While contributing to expenses is voluntary, it really does keep this site going! And if you have never contributed, perhaps this could be the year you start.
I would be happy to give you a line of text (or update your notation) as a thank you for your help. Choose whatever notation you'd like - make one up or try "Supporter in '15".
For a $40 donation I will be happy to set up an animated avatar (up to 9 guinea pig pics) for you. An existing animated avatar can be updated (new pics) with any donation.
VERY IMPORTANT! => I do NOT always remember to ask you what you'd like your notation to be or if you'd like an animated avatar so PLEASE remind me and I will be happy to do so (this is a consequence of getting older and being less organized!) so this is my official apology if I forget!
If you write me at the following address, I can send you my mailing address if you wish to send a check (preferred). For those who would rather use Paypal, I only have a personal Paypal account (it doesn't take credit or debit cards).
Please note, Paypal is now charging additional fees. If you want to make sure I receive your entire donation (and avoid these fees), select the "Personal" tab and "Gift" and make sure you either have funds in your account or are drawing funds from your bank (an "e-check" rather than a bank debit card or credit card). Then your entire donation should go through rather than having Paypal remove substantial fees. Checks do not incur additional fees so all of your donation is guaranteed to help GL.
The email I use for Paypal is:
You all make this board a real community and I'm grateful for your participation here. I am especially indebted to the members who answer questions about guinea pig care and monitor the medical board. I am so proud that you all make a difference in the lives of guinea pigs and in each other's lives - sometimes in wonderful and unexpected ways. And you all absolutely provide the inspiration I need to keep me going!
Thanks for making Guinea Lynx the great place it is!!
...and thanks for letting me talk about my chickens :-)

I could be evil and ask for a blingee avatar but that would really be pushing it, I think. I'm happy with what I've got. I've been that avatar since forever!

Thanks so much, mmeadow!
Will definitely update your notation!
p.s. Snowflakey, maybe you'd like something subtle? HollyT's glint is pretty sweet. Hey, and how about you, mmeadow? Another option I played with is a single image but larger (instead of 72X72, 100X100). Anyway, should you wish to change your avatar in any way, let me know.

Did receive! Many thanks!! Successfully sent with no fees!
I take it you like to be updated to '15? (just did so)
p.s. SF, I found some code to update the date in the forum.
https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=1972025
So it's now working!
I also added the start date of the forum :-)
