Donation to keep the site up and running...

[Salar4me]

Should spend additional time with housework etc. but seem to spend many more hours on the forum. Did a quick search about donations but didn’t see anything. There must be $ associated with hosting etc? Have sent donations to other sites from time to time in the early days of the WWW and feel I should do something here to defray costs. How can I help?
Thanks!

The Forum is owned by Dr Todd Larson. He funds the upkeep as part of his business, so anything like that would have to go through him.

I really appreciate the sentiment.

I have paid for the running of this Forum out of pocket (including the moving of the forum) for well over a decade. It is getting quite expensive to run for sure. I am thinking about putting a fundraiser book out for the Forum, the Bamboo Fly Rod Vade Mecum, which has been gestating a long time. It would be available to people who donate to the upkeep of the Forum.

I'll keep people updated on this. But thanks for thinking of the Forum.

I think many members would be happy to donate to keep this forum going without a fundraiser book. Other forums I belong to have a simple way for members to contribute, either as a one shot when able with no set amount or on an ongoing monthly basis with a set amount.

A Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far, Far Away, I donated some buck$ to this forum. IIRC, there was an outpouring of $. I'd be happy to contribute again.

I remember that, too, Dale, and like you, I'd be more than happy to "help" again.

I'd donate as well. This is the main thing that I look at on the internet these days.

This is the first and last place I go on the internet every day. I’d be more than happy to contribute to its continued life.

Active forums such as this are becoming a thing of the past...which is sad because I get a lot of value from the exchange of information and ideas presented here. I would happily donate.

It would be very easy just to put a PayPal button on the home page.

It's always easy if you're not the one that has to implement it, isn't it?

Unfortunately, there's no available plugin or extension that currently works with phpBB forums with a version number greater than v3.1. We're currently at v3.3.x.

I would be glad to contribute also.

I'd be happy to send a check once a year, similar to a magazine subscription. The talent of the members and inspiration I get from this forum are priceless.

I believe that Mark is underpaid. I also believe that, in the past, there was a donation set up for Administrator "appreciation." I don't mean to start a wildfire, but I wouldn't mind donating to that.

Dale,

Thanks for the kind thoughts, but that isn't necessary. This is pretty much a labor of love for me. If I got paid for it it would feel like a job.
