Another Change on CMM! Welcome Back Banned Members! - 11:19PM EST - awesomegenie
CMM has been around for 7 years - thanks to all of you who have participated and contributed and made this website last until now. It is not easy to maintain and keep a community like CMM for such a long time and we realise that we must continue to make changes and improvements in order to survive.
As of today, we'd like to consider welcoming back some members who were previously permanently banned. If you have been banned from CMM (or you know someone else who has and may wish to return) please use our Contact Center to tell us your CMM username, the reason why you were banned and who banned you (optional), and why you think we should allow you to return. We will quickly notify you of our decision to either welcome you back or to keep the ban in place.
We'll be waiting to hear from you. 
Thank you.

CMM 7th Year Anniversary Updates - 04:00PM EST - awesomegenie
Hi CMMers! Today is CMM's 7th year anniversary! Thanks to all of you guys in the community who have put their time, effort and money to keep the website running up to this day.
Unfortunately, due to lack of contributions, CMM is now $2,500 in debt. As we have to pay a few hundred dollars for our servers each month, without sufficient contributions, the debt will keep on increasing. Sadly, we might have to close down the website if this continues, though hopefully if more people start to contribute this will not be the case.
If the debt does keep on increasing and we are forced to close the site one day, there will be advance notice of a few months. Senior and VIP members need not worry as there will be sufficient time for you to continue downloading what you want off of the site before it would close. We won't post a sudden message saying we are closed as we understand the importance of CMM and what it offers the fan community, and to be fair to those who continue to contribute each month.
Due to our current situation, we want to give one last shot to save CMM. As part of the updates for 2009, we have decided to make some changes in our membership levels as an attempt to try to encourage more contributions and activities from the community. As part of these changes, some content is now available only to certain membership levels.
Over the past years, many fans have come and gone and CMM is a collective effort of the Christina fan community for 7 long years. We hope that those who are new fans, or those who have remained fans throughout all these years do what they can to help, whether it be contributing, or participating in the many activities or teams that CMM needs to keep running smoothly. After all, it does take a lot of work to update the sites here with content.
Even though CMM is not in the best shape right now, there is still hope, and we really do need your help to turn this around. Without further ado, we present the updates for 2009!
Membership Levels Changes
1. The points required for you to become a certain membership level will be changed.
Current New
Minor Member 100 200
General Member 300 400
Senior Member 500 600
VIP Member 900 1000
2. You have to be up-to-date with the latest points regulations to stay in a certain membership level.
For instance, you have to have 1000 points if you want to remain being a VIP member, or you will be downgraded.
3. VIP access will be available for you when you are active on CMM.
Being active means you are still helping CMM in any ways or hold any positions/jobs on CMM. General posting on Forums doesn't count. Within 6 months of no activity, you will no longer get VIP access.
If you're a contributor, your activities work a bit differently. Let's say you contribute $10. Per $5 donated, it equals to 3 month activities. So you have ((10/5)*3)+6months=12 months access to VIP account.

You need to become Minor Member or above to be able to download MP3s from MP3 Heaven.
Video Palace
You need to become Minor Member or above to be able to download from Express Server (WMVs).

Your (new) weekly Forum Update! - 05:45AM EST - century
Hey everyone, starting this week I'll be posting weekly updates for you on the Main Page, to give you a little insight in what's going on in the forum.
First off, we've got some interesting threads for you in Xtina Lounge, where you can hear a LQ recording of Christina's new song for the "Spirit" soundtrack, called "Falling in Love Again". We're hoping to get a better quality recording for you soon. Click HERE to hear the song and discuss it.
Also, you can watch Demi Lovato sing "Mercy on Me", and quite well too actually. But not as good as our Christina, of course, lol. 
Then also over at Chill Lounge, you can ask questions to our lovely CMM Newsletter Dedications editor, Ola. Just go to the Host with the Most-thread to ask her anything you've always wanted to know.
And if you're not busy, be sure to drop in on our Random Poll of the Day, where you can tell people what you'll be doing for New year's Eve.
So, that's it for this week, be sure to check in soon, and Happy New Year. 
Jay.
