Let's be leaders in actions as well as words and match-up our generosity

with our loquacity. Pressing the " Make a Donation" button does not make
 
your computer explode, but it will make you feel good about your commitment

to the sport and this excellent site.

Let's put our money where our mouth is. These guys could use a morale

boost and display of appreciation.

Don,

Right now, in my opinion, I think we are being overlooked somewhat.  We do want to spread the word, and we have some plans in that regard, but it is not our primary concern at this time. I have hoped and will continue to hope that the site is helpful and entertaining to our members and guests. I hope that it will continue to grow, in members, guests, content (especially video), and participation.

My determination as the owner of the site is that we will not clutter the site with advertising and we will not ever make it a paysite.

However, it is yet to be determined just what the costs will be for the video hosting services we provide our members. My goal is to allow the  unrestrained growth of the forum in every possible direction. I basically envision this forum as a massive digital library. There are many steps we can take to allow this unrestrained growth yet limit costs. For instance, an extreme measure down the road if costs begin to soar would be to disallow video downloads between 7-10PM (peak forum traffic time).

Thank you very much for your wonderful support and, yes, donations are most appreciated and will be used productively for our members.
