As of December, this forum will have been active for 1 year. Since then we've had over 271 people join the forum and generate 1775 posts in 432 topics. I'd call that quite a success! I hope that people like this format and that it's serving their needs.
This forum is hosted utilizing my account with my hosting company, and I have no problem continuing to do that, as I have bandwidth to spare. However, it does cost money to register the FreedomYachts.org domain name. Last year I paid for this, but this year I thought that I'd ask for donations to offset the cost. Here's a breakdown of the renewal rates:
1 yr $19
2 yr $36
3 yr $51
4 yr $56
5 yr $65
If you'd like to contribute, please go to [deleted]. I'll use whatever I get to purchase the longest registration time possible. You can pay using a credit card or a PayPal account. If the regular users of this forum were to kick in a couple of bucks, we'd be all set.
Thanks in advance for your donations!
