Yes, everyone, please speak English in the main sections of the forum. Most people in the USA speak English and it's easier to follow posts if everyone is speaking the same language. Most forums have a language that they enforce.

But we do love our international brothers/sisters so we do have an international section where you can speak whatever language you want. You can even make up a language if you feel like it.

Also, I only speak English so if someone is breaking rules in another language (for example: harassing others), it's hard for me to know because I can't read the text. At the moment we don't have enough foreign language speakers to need another mod.

Now, back on topic!

For more donors you can try posting about it in the various livejournal communities. I don't think the forum has ever been advertised there so it's possible that there are many fans that don't even know about all these street team plans.

I think, please correct me if I'm wrong Tracy, that Tracy Coder posted it there. That's how I first found out about this forum was through a live journal post on either hydeist or l'arc~en~ciel.
I think part of it is just that people are plain broke. I'm maxed out at the moment and I still have things to pay for for my VAMPS trips. I haven't even counted merchandise costs yet either. These shows are costing all of us plenty unless you live locally and are only going to that show. We have the love in our hearts but don't have the cash in our pockets. But I still think that if everyone who was going to a show contributed at least $5 then the expenses would be covered. With that said, I probably should check and make sure I have done just that for the shows that I am going to, too.
