1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    why does it always happen in the middle of the night though? he decided at bedtime he was going to plow right on through most of his readers, and kept me up until 12:30 asking if this vowel was long or short and is this letter silent and is he reading this word correctly. i indulged him until i couldn't keep awake any more.

    we're rewarding him with his own copy of The Hobbit and a hobbit video game for his playstation.
