An update: Eric and I explored options and ultimately purchased a one month "Express E-mail Marketing" option from our internet provider, GoDaddy. The system required us to send a notice first, giving recipients the option of subscribing to our "marketing campaign" or declining. Thus far, very few people have actually received our e-mail as most either declined to subscribe, ignored us or reported us as spammers.
We have, however, reached several players who have registered here and have posted. We have also had to deal with many spammers here on this forum. It is frustrating to me to be reported as a spammer and, at the same time, receive SO MUCH spam here!
If you have any contact information from SpiritWars players who have not yet registered here, please let them know about the forum. I am very grateful to all of you who have come here and encouraged us, given us advice and offered to help. We will press on!
Love, Lyn
