Many of you have been contacting me in regards to donations. Its free here to be a member. When i started this place i never even intended on asking for donations. But Rolling Thunder as well as a few others were really kind in offering services. The big fee is actually hosting. And RT through his company Namecheap has been our biggest supporter. We would not exist without him. I just dont have the means to cover a dedicated server like he has given us. Thank you RT for the Aloha.
But the costs to update this forum 3 times a year and the annual security fees are $500 alone. Then you add in all the add ons. Nevermind the time spent trying to upkeep it from a maintenance pov. 40 hours alone over the past week were dedicated to just fixing the VB hack. They wouldnt even do the work. Just bad business imo. But we bit the bullet for this forum software when we created this forum. And coming from an older version of VB at Thenflforum.com it was the easiest transition. Would i use a different software package if i had to re-create TPB? Fuck yes.
When things go bad i spend hours trying to fix it. I spend my own money keeping us primed and functioning properly. I invest money to keep us stoked with the latest and greatest features VB and 3rd party software has to offer. Just so you guys can have a sweet charger fan discussion experience.
Im never going to monetize to profit from this place. But if you are in position to help me cover the costs to upkeep this awesome community by all means do so. I would be forever grateful.
Love you guys. Cheers and Thanks so much. I feel shitty even bringing this up. Its not really what im about. But you asked. And now you receive. lol
Ill add Venmo when i set that up.
