How is the forum funded?
#1
The on-going debacle at the 'wam reminds me of something I've been meaning to ask for a while, which is:

It must cost something to host and run the forum, and I don't see any advertisements or other means by which it raises income.  So I assume it's the personal generosity of Guillaume and/or Rufus and/or Martyn that funds it.

If that's the case, firstly: thank you, and secondly: is there a way that members can make a contribution towards the running costs?  I for one would be very pleased to do so.

(I don't want to pry unduly so if this isn't an appropriate topic for discussion, sorry for the noise and please feel free to nuke this post!)

Morning all,

We're working out a method of making small donations at the moment and everything will go straight back into improving the forum and keeping it ad free! We'll keep you posted.

It would be great if you could offer a PayPal payment option along with credit card payment options.

At the top of the screen you should now see a button to make a PayPal donation. As I said before any funds donated will be put back into the maintenance of the site and improvements.

Thank you,

Martyn
