A big thanks to all who contribute.

The received $ helps pay hosting expenses, keeps everything ad-free, while some years' extras makes re-donation possible, mainly to SMF, helping the makers of the (excellent & free) forum software to pay costs & continue development & provide support.

I have a standing order for a modest sum every month. I hope it is enough. Please DM me to discuss it if it's too little.

Yes, everyone wants anything\everything on the web to be free.

In contrast to f.ex. the 'free' apps on your mobile phone which gets paid for in mountains of money by stealing and reselling all your personal information and details of your daily life, this website\forum generates ...nothing, except personal expenses and considerable amounts of time spent to maintain it.

Donations are disheartingly lacking, getting rarer, sparser and scarser as the years go by (...in complete contrast to the growth of the number of members\visitors).

But to those who contribute, a big thanks!

I have a monthly standing order running. It's not very much but I hope it helps.

Please think about how amazingly valuable this free and advert free forum is to you and others.

The massive amount of information here is encyclopedic;  it must be kept for the foreseeable future.

I would be happy to donate but I am just wondering how much we'd all have to chip in a year if everyone was asked to pay a membership fee to maintain access?  It would most likely be a very nominal amount and I'm sure the majority of us would see excellent value in it.

To me it seems fairer that we all pay a very small amount than just a magnanimous few carrying the load? Like insurance but much cheaper!
