Members:
As you know, I've generally turned down donations to run the board because it's actually very cheap to host and run it. Today, though, I have a reason to want funds to improve the board, so I'm appealing to you to support this effort.
Here's what we want to accomplish:
1. Adding antispam and sercurity mechanisms so that we can re-open the board for new members (it's been closed for over a year): about $400 (breakdown: $300 programming, $50 test server hosting, $50 StopForumSpam and Akismet memberships)
2. Moving the board to a new, faster and more reliable server: $50
If we collect more than $450, I'll figure out a good use for the additional funds; maybe installing a mobile theme for the board so that you don't have to use the Tapatalk app if you don't want to. Suggestions of things you'd like to see are welcome!
The work will be done by our own Geekboy. Part of what I'm hoping to get out of this is another board member who can hack/fix the board code, so this is a long-term investment.
Depending on how things go, I might have some kind of freebie in return for your donation courtesy of Todd Hart. No promises, though!
