Naruto Shippuuden 071 is now up for downloading. Finally out of the fillers it seems.

Also wanted to say thank you for the people that raised enough to pay for the forums server this month. Without a doubt you keep this website up.

Please donate if you haven't already because the remaining two servers also need to be paid for later this month.

Thanks

This is for the forums/homepage server. We need to get roughly $100 per day for the next week to pay for the website.

I know you can do it.

Thank you for your help.

Issue #11

Naruto Shippuuden 067
Bleach 180 and 181

They are all up for download.

Please donate to this website to help keep it up. It looks like we won't meet our target this month. Depending on how much we miss it by will determine the future of this website.

It's been a long time coming but I am happy to announce a start if a new event here at NarutoMania.


It's a pretty simple format. A special thread will be created on the forums. Your host (LONGTIME) will be asking a series of questions. The first to post the answer wins. Of course users will not be able to edit their own posts like they can now.

Subjects will vary from week to week, and quesitons will be based on text,audio and graphics.

As a prize you get to be mod of the lounge for a week as well as Private Server access for a month.

Time : Thursday 23rd July 2007 @ 22:00GMT
Place : NarutoMania Forums

Rules:

• Hosts decision is final.
• Users with fewer than 100 posts cannot redeem the Modship prize due to security reasons. They will be given an extra month on the P.S. to compensate.
• Mods and Admins cannot unfortunately participate :(
• Spam needs to be kept to a bare minimum in the Trivia thread.

Last but not least I will be hosting the first Trivia night with LONGTIME as assistant (to keep check on scores)

Would like to first of all thank everyone that has helped this month, but we are falling behind target this month and we need to hit at least the $2000 mark.

There are more details a couple of news posts down, but we have been hit with an unforseen bandwidth bill and are having to pay it off. Faliure to do so will mean the site going down for a while.

I really appreciate your help and we need your help and support to keep this website up.

Please donate by clicking here. You do not need a paypal account and we accept all major credit cards.

They are both up for downloading.

I've just got back from abroad, so have put up the latest episodes. They are :

-Naruto 65-65
-Bleach 176-177, 178

Enjoy, Have fun and please donate to help keep this website up.

Yep new month again, and unfortunately still have one more bandwidth bill to pay. NarutoMania is now down to 4 Servers from our once grand total of 15. I've cancelled another one last month because the bandwidth charges were too excessive totaling $1200 for the one server. Combined with the current costs this puts us over $3000 in costs for this month.

I along with a few others we have picked up the majority of the bill to go with our regular donations and help keep this website up lsat month.

My life is more than a bit hectic at the moment. I've just rented my own place for the first time and combined with the website costs from last 2 months and GF being between jobs, I am flat out broke. I'll be able to make ends meet but there is no way I can put any contirbution from myself for this website this month.

Break Down of costs are as follows for July 2008:

-Bandwidth Overage : $1200 (One off fee which they split over two months June / July)
-Forums Server cost :- $599
-Forums Firewall cost :- $100
-Private Server costs - $499
-General Anime Server costs - $189 + $189 + $219 (cancelled as of this month)

Invoices are available to any donator, simply PM me.

After this month of July there will be no more bandwidth overage fee as all of our other servers are unmetered. So as of August our target will be $1300 ish for everything.

Basically this month will be the hardest for NarutoMania for the forseeable future. Short of all the hard disks failing on the remaining servers there shouldn't be any surprise costs.

We do need your help to keep this place up and running. If you donated last month, please help us again.

Issue #10

Naruto Shippuuden 063 and Bleach 175 are up for download.

Just wanted to thank everyone for their support over the last couple of months. It's been a bit tough but we're nearly through it.

Please keep the donations coming in as we have the private server to pay for at the end of this month.

All donators get unlimited Instant access to our private server containing 3000GB of Anime.

Bleach 174 is up for download now

Naruto Shippuuden Episode 62 and Bleach Episode 173 are up for download from their sections.

Please donate to this website to help keep it up. We need another $400 by the 13th to pay for the forums+ website server.

I wanted to Thanks everyone who donated last month to help us get near our target. We were still $200ish short but I can cover that.

I am also happy to announce that all Naruto (except fillers), Naruto Shippuuden and Bleach episodes are now linked up and working from our main page. You only need 50 posts or more to be able to download them.

I will be adding more anime to our list very soon.

The Private Server has seen a fairly dramatic speed increase over the last couple of weeks due to some network upgrades. Users from Europe and Asia should notice a big difference, but all users should notice that speeds are much better now.

Please Please, keep your donations coming in. We need to aim for the 30% mark before the 13th to pay for the forums server + Website.
