MaMa Is Going Dark

Erica — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 02:25:21 +0000

Dear Margamania visitors,

Our website will be going dark from 8am to 8pm (UTC/GMT) in support of stopping SOPA and PIPA on Wednesday, January 18th. We realize this is a big day for our fandom but, the damage that these two laws could do to our fandom is worth blacking out our site and gallery for 12 hours.

Although this is in no way a political site, we would like to take the time to inform you about two proposed bills in the American House of Representatives and Senate that, if passed, will threaten this fan website and many others.

We are talking about the “Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)” and the “Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA)”. While SOPA is supposedly not moving forward for now, both of these ambiguously worded bills have the potential to shut down any website they deem is in violation of the law, and could impose fines and even prison sentences.

Are you willing to have your favorite sites go down? How about your e-mail censored by your provider because of the links it contains? What about trying to share a funny video or picture with a friend? If either one of these laws passes those things can, and probably will, quickly become reality.

Not American? Major websites like Google, facebook, Wikipedia, and tumblr are based in the United States. If SOPA and PIPA pass, these companies will have to change their websites which means it will affect you.

We urge you all, whether in the United State or outside, to please get more information about the bills by visiting americancensorship.org.

If you are not a citizen of the United States, you can sign the petition to Congress and the State Department to show you are against both proposed legislations.

For those in the United States, please contact your representatives in the House and the Senate.

Please help protect freedom on the internet!

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Margamania

To a Peaceful, Happy Year

Thank you for being with us throughout 2011 and for your constant support. We really, really appreciate that.

Party as much as you want, but stay safe!

Happy Holidays from Margamania!

Wishing a very merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates it. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, we hope you have a nice weekend. Have lots of fun and stay safe. Peace!

Happy Birthday, Marg!

…and Happy MargDay to all fellow Marg fans…and Happy 7th Anniversary to this place, Margamania!

It’s a shame that due to a busy personal life, I wasn’t able to run a fundraiser to both help fight breast cancer and honor Marg’s effort in the cause like we did in 2009 and 2010, but you can still help by supporting The Breast Cancer site‘s free mammogram project with one single click. There. Easy, isn’t it?

Hope you all have a great day. Enjoy tonight’s new episode of CSI!

MargDay Project 2010 – And the Winner Is…

Erica — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:18:23 +0000

Our sincere thanks to everyone that has donated to MargDay Project 2010. We raised $416.81 in total. Although we received less funds than we did last time, the number of donations is actually higher, which means more people donated this time. Your kindness and generosity is very much appreciated. Just like last year, we will post the certificate or confirmation letter from Susan G. Komen after we have the money donated to the organization and have it forwarded to Marg.

As for who won the CSI script signed by the main cast of the show…we have the drawing process recorded. The winner was selected randomly using the service at Random.org.

Find out who the winner is.

Congratulations! The winner will receive an email from us to confirm your name and mail address by Monday, January 17. Again, thanks for everyone’s participation. We look forward to organizing another fan project and working with you again!

Happy New Year!

Keep rocking in 2011!

It’s that time of the year. Thank you to each of our visitors for your constant support and encouragement. Your compliments make us happy; your criticism help us improve. We at Margamania wish you happy holidays. Here’s hope for a brilliant 2011!

Don’t forget that MargDay Project 2010 is still taking donations. You can make the holiday spirit even brighter by helping us help fight breast cancer in honor of Marg’s Birthday!

Happy Marg Day 2010!

Don’t forget that you can celebrate the day by participating in MargDay Project 2010. Honor Marg’s work while you help women in need!

Do You Tumblr?

Erica — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 14:45:01 +0000

Are you a Tumblr user? Good news for Marg fans who are also Tumblr users: MaMa is on Tumblr! As more and more people have started using the service to blog, we decided to create a community for the Marg fans there. Our Tumblelog is a multi-author community where users can submit posts with text, photos, quotes, links, fan art, etc. and share them with people who follow the blog. If you own a Tumblr account, you are more than welcome to follow us and share the Marg love.

On a different note, don’t forget that you can celebrate and honor Marg’s birthday by donating to MargDay Project 2010 and helping women in need. Also, if you have registered in the MaMa forum before today but never received an activation email from us, please contact us with your registered username. We will activate your account as soon as we can.

MargDay Project 2010

We are a little late this year, but it’s finally here!

Remember our 2009 Birthday Project? We raised $500 in 40 days and donated the funds to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation. This year we organized another fundraiser for the foundation to honor Marg’s birthday and her work in raising cancer awareness. Just like last year, we have a gift as our thank-you to the people who take part in the project. Please click the banner below for details.
