I have been putting off the IA upgrade now for a couple of years because the cost seemed very daunting... but NOW is the time and I am asking for your help!

Indiana Auditions is a FREE site, and to keep it FREE, every once in a while I have to step out of my comfort zone to solicit money to grow!

Every donation counts... every donation matters!

You can PayPal via the donation button on the homepage. (Paypal takes a small fee to use. $20 nets $19.12 to IA)

You can mail the donation to me:
Joe Urban
927 Ginger Circle
Greenfield, IN 46140

Please feel free to let people know you donated and how much. If you don't want to be recognized please let me know.

This is what we are doing:

Right now we are two years behind the times with our software. It is no longer supported!

The new site will have:

Articles / reviews WITH GRAPHICS:



Better profile pages:



Easier, more robust posting options!!

• Easy photo options
• Events Management
• Video Embedding
• Easily attach images (problems for a lot of you)
• Multiple private and public calendars (Theaters can have their OWN calendars!)
• Viewable public and private events
• Calendar event reminders for subscribed events
• BLOGS: Available via a single click from any vBulletin page, the blog home page aggregates activity from all member blogs into a single page – with information about the most recent and highest rated blog posts, recent comments, and a featured blog post!

What if we DON'T get enough money... do I get my money back?
I don't think it will be an issue. We only need 35 people to donate $20 out of a possible user base of over 2,000 members.

You didn't answer my question:
I don't want to... I would like to keep trying until we have it. We REALLY need the update!! If you feel the need to ask... then YES I will send it back or rip up the check.

Is this tax deductible?
Nope.

Then why should I donate?
Up to you... but I believe if you have ever been cast... found a cast member... found a prop... got a question answered... had a little fun.... you should donate!

How will I know you have enough money?
I will be keeping a running total at the top of this post. You can check it daily.

What if you get more than you need?
Then it goes to the next project and believe me... there will always be a next project to make the site better! You will know where we are pretty much every day... when we reach the right amount, there will be a party on the site!

Joe, I can't find the paypal option on the home page. What am I doing wrong?

[Joe]

Hmmm... it is on the bottom right side of the page all the way at the bottom.

Do you have popups or advertising turned off.
I wonder if somehow it shows as one of those.

[Joe]

Thank you Keith!!!!

Close to half way there!
