jhm Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Hey all- We still have a robust and active membership here at HybridZ; but unfortunately, donations have really dropped off the last 4-5 years. We do derive some level of revenue from ads; but that typically falls well short of actual operating costs for the website (web hosting fees, software license fees, etc, etc.) Was chatting with @SuperDan recently, and he estimated that our annual expenses exceed advertisement income by $1300-1600 every year! Soooo, we are asking that folks consider making a donation to keep the forum up and running. We've had some issues with the "Donation" function recently, but it should be resolved now and working correctly. Anyone wishing to make a Donation and running into any issues whatsoever, please don't hesitate to post here (or PM me directly) and I will ensure your issue gets resolved. For your ease of reference, here's the link to the "Donation" button: https://forums.hybridz.org/clients/donations/ I will probably post this announcement in a couple of different locations on the Forum to ensure maximum visibility. Thanks for your time, and Happy Motoring. Vr John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyMahoney Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 I belong to Classicbroncos.com and to be able to post pictures, you have to pay a small fee. It's not a lot, maybe 5 or 10$ a year. Food for thought. I will donate now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your donation, and to the others that have donated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
