Post Your Thank-You!Where it all began... *So everyone knows exactly what happened...*
During the months of July and August 2001, Anistonline was on the verge of losing it's home at SmooveNET, it's space provider, since they had announced that they would start charging for the service of hosting fansites under their network, mine included. As you would imagine, this is extremely bad news from the webmaster's [me!] point of view. All you wanna do is find a stable 'home' for your site, without having to hop from provider to provider as I have had to do twice in the past [Anistonline was originally with Xoom, until the a new company by the name of Chilliseeds offered to host my site and the choice of my own domain name all for free. They went out of business, which lead to SmooveNET saving my bottom!]. Believe me when I tell you that it is quite a vast undertaking having to move over 350 megabytes of website from one provider to the next, not to mention having to re-write every html page to suit the new host's ad banners. I was starting to freak out a little. SmooveNET had deactivated the site which meant for a lot of unhappy Aniston fans. My poor visitors [bless 'em!] where getting 'Forbidden' messages every time they tried to enter Anistonline! And to top it all off I was given 3 weeks to pack my stuff up and leave! As a fulltime student who does not have the means to pay for an entire year of hosting, I was basically in a rutt. I love the site and wanted to keep it alive. People were kind enough to suggest other hosting services. I considered them, but knew deep down they too would eventually go under as a lot of dot-com companies are at the moment. Eventually, they would stop offerring free space and start charging, and I would be back at square one.
Anistonline's saviour!
At this point in time, an e-mail buddy of mine, Oliver Dickinson, contacted me to see why he couldn't access Anistonline. I informed him on the situation with my host and how Anistonline was on the verge of being homeless. He could see the desperation in my eyes [hard to do over the computer!] and offered to do something that truely amazed me and was completely unexpected. After some thought, I accepted his generous offer to pay for Anistonline to remain on SmooveNET, ad-banner free, for an entire year! He assured me he could easily afford to foot the bill, so to speak, at the moment. And so, on August 7th, Oliver reached out a helping hand and paid for Anistonline to remain online! You can imagine how ecstatic I was! Now, the site is back online and everything is back to normal!
We Thank-You Oliver!
You know, the generosity people exhibit never ceases to amaze me. Oliver didn't have to do this and could have easily turned away while Anistonline went under. But he didn't. He has always emailed me thanking me for my work on the site. But he put his money where his mouth is, so to speak, and for that I am just so grateful. Oliver, I hope this doesn't sound overly dramatic! hehe I am sincere and wanted to announce publicly what you did. You really showed me your love for Anistonline and for Jennifer. I wanted people to thank-you directly, so this Forum is a dedication to you. As a matter of fact Anistonline is a dedication to you!! After all it wouldn't currently be accessible without your generosity. Thanks to you Anistonline has a home, stress free, for an entire year more. We can all learn a lot from you =) So, everyone, please take the time to say thank-you to Oliver for his kindness. Feel free to say anything you like, and post as many times as you like. Now, on the count of three shout out loud - "OLIVER ROCKS THE MOST!" hehehe ;)
Thank you Oliver!! Without this site I would be going crazy. I'm going through a tough time right now, and i need all my friends on anistonline. Thank you !!!

Re: Post Your Thank-You!
Oliver, I could never thank you enough. You are seriously a life-saver. Like Billy said, you really didn't have to pay for this..But you did. That was really really really nice of you. I hope you know what a great thing you did for all of us. This site is one of the best Jenn Aniston sites on the net. If not THE best. And you saved it! Gosh, I don't know where we'd be if the site was taking off the net...I hope you understand how much this all means to us. I really could never thank you enough.
Peace.

The joys of marriage? (Thoughtful pause) I would just say this amazing, overwhelming sense of calm and peace. It's like, OK, we've got that handled, we've got the love thing handled and now we can embark on life and the bigger issues in hand: how we can both better ourselves, better the world, spread love…

Now your pictures that you left behind Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man

You can't always depend on fate to lead you where you're meant to be. If you trust, believe, and follow your heart, you're sure to find your way there.
