Dear Fans,

Tensions have been high in the Lonelygirl15 world. We would like to clarify a few things that have recently come up. First off, Yousef Abu-Taleb is NOT being fired from the show. The character of Daniel is still very much a part of Lonelygirl15. Secondly, we have NOT "gone corporate." To the contrary, we are almost completely out of money. We are still financing Lonelygirl15 out of personal savings and maxed out credit cards. The little money that we do have goes to pay for the actors and the few items needed to film the videos (P. Monkey eats a lot of bananas). Why are we still doing this? For you. We care as much about this show and this new medium as you do, and we are doing our best to keep it going. You might see some banner ads and Google AdSense popping up. We're gonna make some T-Shirts. We'll also be producing some DVD's. All we want to do is create a FANTASTIC show to entertain you.

Thank you for watching!

Miles, Mesh, Greg, Amanda, Vanessa, Jessica, Yousef, Jackie, Kevin

well the only rumour i helped propagate that i'm sad to hear isn't true is that you're not getting some funding. gohepcat was right on point months ago, when he said that hollywood wastes millions on crap, lg15 deserves some funding.

Glad to see that Yousef isn't going anywhere. We do love our beast. But what the heck happened? Was it a hacker on myspace?

Yes, it hasn't been explained in much detail. I have this sinking feeling that this is just to appease us, and 3 videos later, there goes the danielbeast...

**sigh**

I guess all we can really do is watch and wait.

I am so glad Yousef is not being fired..
Why don't you open a paypal account so we can donate $?
I have a small business in Puerto Rico, and I understand the frustration of having funds dry up. Fortunately all is well, so anyways, if you need anything, I would be happy to make a (quite small for now... sowy) money or merchandise donation.
www.artemosaicos.com - Its still under construction.

Somehow I missed all of this...

But I certainly wouldn't want Daniel gone! And I'm fine with you doing whatever you need to do to keep this show going. What use would no ads or merchandise do if there was no more show either?

Good job so far, guys!

Thank you for clearing this up. I completely understand that you need funding and therefore won't criticise your means to find it. I would even donate if I could.. you very well deserve it.

Thanks for doing such a great job at this!
