Thank you so much to all who have donated
:notworthy:
including at least one of our brand new members. :onya:

I have updated forum status so hopefully all who have donated have 'Forum Donor 2022' beside their avatar.

Please let me know if I've been a dick and missed anyone :)

I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

I just want to express my appreciation to all who have donated so far.  I've gone back through my records and I haven't reimbursed myself for any of the out-of-pocket expenses since 2020.

Your donations help toward putting  me back in the black, and keep the missus off my back :) (poetic eh)

With the donations people have been making, each year we get pretty close to breaking even. (unlike an un-named owner of an un-named previous gsx1400 forum who was apparently pocketing lots of surplus cash  :angry: )

I am so honoured that people are willing to chip in so we can maintain a great forum without having to resort to having display ads on the site. That's something I very much want to avoid.

:worshippy: :clapping:

I have not yet 'done the books' for the last couple of years re income and expenses, but I have always considered this YOUR forum. I am happy to answer, in private, and questions that donating members might have regarding forum finances.  So once I've collected all teh relevant info I'll post a precis  after which I'm happy to answer questions on the matter. I've nothing to hide.   I will note, however, that in fairness donor names will be redacted - nobody will be able to find out how much any other person has donated.

I would donate, but I run my own forum as well & that costs me enough even though it's beginning to break even most of the time. So I totally get where you're coming from Vlad.

I didn't know the story of the old ORG's end before, but I've seen such things on another forum I've used before as well. Never a good thing after members have trusted the owners.

Doing a great job Vlad. No Adds please. Lots of members now, just a tiny donation from each would be lots. Come on Fellas, donate cost of just one coffee.

Yes mate, I detest ads and based on the generosity members have shown, there's no need for them :)

Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

it did, I've reinvested it in a deal where a box of $300 million in gold bars is being shipped to me...  :whistling:
