The iPeace network now works and relies on the NING platform.  Until now, basic services were free and advanced services were not. David Califa established iPeace and used to pay directly for some NING services.  We are all grateful to David for that. 

Recently, NING has decided to charge for all its services. There is more information here: http://about.ning.com/announcement

The options NING is offering are at: http://about.ning.com/announcement/plans.php.  Because iPeace has more than 150 members, the only viable options for maintaining iPeace at NING are:

  1. NING PLUS which costs $19.95/month or $199.95/year, or
  2. NING PRO which costs $49.95/month or $499.95/year.

There is some related general discussion here:  http://creators.ning.com/forum/topics/ning-update-introducing-ning .

It is now up to the current active members of iPeace to determine NOW whether and how the iPeace network and its community are maintained.

Picture, mam, I want to see the picture of your donation, please.

Many thanks in advance.

Best Regards.
Beatriz
sometimes, when we want something, there is a better way in doing it.
A way that is less offensive.
If I were you, and if I had wanted something as you ask, I MIGHT have written to Clicia asking her if you could write to her privately.
It would have avoided a lot of embarassment, unnecessary and actually, in my book (and I have thought about this more since it started, when yesterday or a couple of days ago?) I think it would have been much more correct. The tone of the above, "I want to see the picture of your donation" even though written with please, and thanks and best regards....seems out of place. A private email MAY have been a better way to comunicate. And if that didn't get what you wanted, you could have chosen to comunicate with any of us by discussing on email....as I have done many times, in the past with Sue many many times, as well as with others. It has saved me from writing things and helped me to understand what others knew, that was very valuable.
Trying to help in some way,
Steph
Stephanie,

Sorry but there is nothing to be talked in private about the document of her donation for donations are being asked and collected in public.

Transparencyof a business is a public issue, I'm afraid to say.

My Best
"Transparency of a business is a public issue, I'm afraid to say."

Is to be provided By the one who collects financial donations, NOT from personal private bank statement of one member , an ipeace member that gave a donation out of love for peace & ipeace!
I do not see you demanding proof ,picture of paypal,credit card receipt of donations from anyone else that gave,$5.00 $10.00$15.00 $20.00...
That ALL together,combined makes the grand total of donations to ipeace Ning creator David Califa . but only from 1 individual ipeace members donation?? Why just demanding,attacking Clicia? because her donation was more than others? This is unfair,wrong & bullying a single person that gave from her heart what she could afford, because she wanted to make sure this peaceful loving site continued.
I am not the type of person that gets into name calling or arguments.
I am type person that if I see an injustice I do not remain silent,but I will call out the injustice,regardless of who,where is being done.
What you are doing Beatriz,is an injustice to others here, mostly to Clicia.
Whether this be due to your misunderstanding,or a cultural,language difference, I do not know? But your tone & manner is far from peaceful or respectful. So far to anyone that is not in agreement with you.
Beatriz
Because it just me? part of all by name
as he did to me is this fair
So part of all And Also your donation plz

Porque isso só comigo?? Então peça de todos e tambem a sua doação plz
peça de todos nome por nome como fez comigo se é tão justa plz
I just quickly read the surprising last posts here.
Seeing that people are different in all countries, seeing that we have different ways of doing things, thinking, our experiences make us different. I don't feel that anything anyone does should be put down...if someone wants to have a receipt shown, let's be accepting of this.
It is not so terrible.
We do not know one another here.
It is a business procedure...and should only be seen as this!!! No offense should be taken, I believe.
I have had many encounters with people from many countries. What they have done at times could be considered odd or strange or not reasonable. But I have come to learn that people do things differently...regarding how they live, about how they deal with money, even with death. Let's be accepting.
If there was more clarity in every way here, we would not be wondering if iPeace iwll continue or not.
We have to remember...we are all different in our customs. And it is so so so so so easy to be misunderstood here!!!
I care for many of you a lot, and you special people know who you are! But I say and repeat, let's not at all get at each other...let's try to understand how difficult it is to really understand easily, while we are all typing away in our different countries, and our thoughts are coming from different minds having had different experiences (and different parents who taught us different things).
Clicia, I thought it was wonderful that you came up with the information about the bank...to some it might be really necessary and important for clarity. Hope you were not offended.
I am sure thatpeople are not meaning to see it any other than just c l a r i t y.....and that is good.
So much for my opinion. I respect you people for talking things out.
Hugs
Steph
Once again I have said too much.
And I have been misunderstood
All this energy, allthis talk
Just trying to see everyone's point of view....and in the process, being misunderstood.
And this, is just how the world acts...this is like a tiny little world, here on ipeace....lots of people, lots of misunderstandings, people tyhring to get along and having a hard time in being understood.
Sorry if I have offended anyone.
Dearest Steph, well I wasn't offended by your comment,but I was a bit surprised by some of it? or perhaps I did misunderstand,i don't know..but no not offended,especially since what was going on had nothing to do with me, personally. As you can see by my previous post here, well I was OFFENDED,
a bit 'pissed" about what I saw going on here..personal attacks upon Clicia,arguments,etc...that offended me. I did not in any way see or feel that You,Maria,Wendy,Des,Wang were..but..well I'm not needing to say/write WHO did or was. As it is so obvious, that is to those who read,write and speak English,is obvious..? or Maybe not..?
Anyway..hugs Peace & luv :)
Paul,
I wish to THANK YOU for this your comment, as it was /is so far back now,I did not see it until just a minute ago...

"Beatriz,

Clicia Pavan says she sent the money. David Califa says he received the money. That is good enough for and is accepted by all people of goodwill here.

If you do not accept that then I see no reason why you are a member here. Please act accordingly!"

Be well...
Paul R


Yes, I agree thank U Paul...
with best Regards,

Dear Mr. Reti,

We are all aware that you are the pitbull in charge in this neighborhood, ready to ban people who dare to disagree with the authritarian attitude implemented at the site. On top of that, this is a site for peace and we know that democracy is its basis. So let people have freedom to speak, Mr. Pitbull.

I myself do not feel any need at all to trust anyone through the net at all, so i want to see the picture of the documents of the donations for me to believe they were really made.

Clicia and Pitbull here is what I have been doing at and for this site and this cause:

http://www.ipeace.me/group/howtotreatandhealviolenceinhumans

And you sir, apart from pitbullying people who only disagree with you, what have you been doing around?

It was an immense pleasure talking to you once again.

My Best
Please, look for this comment when you visit the group, and look for it among the featured ones as well.

My So Very Best
Beatriz,

Ah! Woof Woof! :-)

Yes! I can be like a pitbull when I perceive unjust and/or bigoted behaviour, and when my red lines are crossed by anyone, including this site's owner.

That is why I now do in public here what I could not achieve in private.

Be well...
