OK, here's the download to our site costs. Since inception of the site in 2007, Adam and his dad bore the costs of the site for years. Then when Scott came on he and Adam covered the costs up till Scott's passing, which led me to being brought in to fill Scott's position. Adam and myself took care of the costs for a couple years, then we added Bill to the ownership, then we added the donation button. When our donations do not cover the total yearly costs, we would add in the difference. Now with the great few members who routinely donate to the site, we don't have to shell out a ton out of our pockets. With times being so tight with the inflation headache, it's becoming harder and harder for members to make a donation. It should not be left up to the same few people supporting the site, it needs to be a larger group doing so. We have a lot of long time members who use this site a lot and never helped us with the costs. All I'm trying to say here is people need to step up. Like I said before, with over 6000 members, if most just donate one dollar to the site, we would be able to operate for several years without any other donations or out of pocket money. This hobby has lost a lot of good sites because of lack of support, don't let that happen here. I know almost everyone can afford a dollar. Tom
