  • Day 17 - The Campaign Continues

     

    Happy Father's Day!  

     

    I'm hanging out today with Short Stack, Better Half and some of the rest of the family.   I hope your day is a good one.

     

    Don't forget to use the hashtag #WeAreXanga when sharing and discussing the fundraiser.   A few have retweeted the Hashtag already, very cool!

     

    Taking a look at the status (below) - We'd just need 343 people to give an average of $99 each.

     

    Could you be one of those 343 people?   

     

     

    ------------------------------

    Stats as of this morning:

    Backers  263 (7 more since yesterday)      

    $26,028 of $60,000   - we are at 43.38% to Goal  (an increase of  1.2% from yesterday)

    Still to raise:  $33,972

    ------------------------------- 

     

    Let's keep the momentum going!   Encourage people to donate - for us to have the opportunity to make a better Xanga.

  • I posted a Save Xanga image icon on my site that is hyperlinked to the Xanga Relaunch Donation page. You can see it @ http://kwantifiable.xanga.com/

    Feel free to copy the image icon and upload it to your site and then hyperlink it to: https://xanga.crowdhoster.com/relaunch-xanga

    I wonder why Xanga Team has not provided this kind of item for issue via email to all subscribers as a means of spreading the word.

    Ed, you come recomended to me by a person I highly respect. I am capable and given the right circumstances willing to donate. Still who are you? and by what Authority do you make any claims?  Like where does our money go, and what guarantees do we have concerning the use of our information? Why does Someone Directly from Xanga not step forward and make a sanctioned offer of exactly what we will get for our money? 

    How do we know we are not just handing over our credit card information to someone who will use it in an illegal  manner?  How do we know our bank accounts will not be drained. Sorry, but I've lived through this scenario once before. I need to know before I shell out money. And will USPS money orders be acceptable ? Will Xanga become more responsive than they have been in the past? Will they start by answering emails EVERY TIME , and not just ignore us as they have done me personally in the past?

    I need more than " I hear they have a plan" sorry, but that is nothing in a court of law. How about real information that can be verified?   Blue_Moon1     who can be reached at    xgeminixdreamxnospam@yahoo.com and spamming me will not help your cause. You may note that I have already purchased a lifetime membership, and had paid for premium previous to that. Though Xanga took my money, they seldom responded to me about anything. I have felt like an afterthought here on xanga with the exception of my friends,

  • @Blue_Moon1 - Please, call me Joel.  Edlives is a nickname that became my username on many platforms.   

    I'm a husband, a father of a child who has Autism, and Lead Editor of Autisable.com.   

    Pledges are to Xanga.com - with the link provided.   They would only take funds IF they reach $60,000.   Also on their fundraising page shows where they are at and what they will do with the funds.  It is a secure site.

    I'm also a lifetime/premium member as well.   Lifetime and premium member blogs will migrate to the new platform, but please look at the FAQ's section at the bottom of the fundraiser to address specific questions.  Also good to backup and download archives - no matter what happens.
    Many have expressed their frustration regarding responses from thexangateam.   I completely understand and am sympathetic to that issue.   

    I can only ask for patience, as they are doing two roles now - creating and developing 2.0 - while trying to manage critical issues with our current platform.    
    I already have a question to send off regarding contributions via mail (rather than credit card/online)

    I will forward your comment and e-mail - and I hope over the next few days things will be resolved.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hello Joel, nice to meet you, and learn about you and some of the things you are responsible for. Your child has a fine father who is engaged in a laudable attempt to help. That is something honorable, and, to be proud of.
    I am a writer who has been published a few times. My writing is not for everyone, but some find it occasionally pleasing, and that is good enough for me. I have other skills as well which have kept me afloat quite satisfactorily.

    Thank you for the information. I am sorry for sounding angry, I am not. I am more confused, and xanga's lack of personal notice makes it worse. I found this out by reading a little on a friends site.... not much help. I still haven't managed to find the "link" to the information you spoke of,but will look. I do have one question for you, how do you manage to contact Xanga and get any response? You do much better than the majority of us out here.

    Thank you for the help.

  • @Blue_Moon1 - here's the link - https://xanga.crowdhoster.com/relaunch-xanga  - I've been putting it on every blog post since we received word from @thexangateam.   

    No worries about sounding angry.   This is a major change, and we are all trying to understand and adapt at the current situation.    Thank you for responding and visiting my blog and asking questions.

  • Wow... I just noticed they updated! 

  • @ElusiveWords - :) . I will expect them to do more updates from here on out. John is the point man on much of this project, keep the man in prayer.
