Personally I don't care how much it would cost, I would pay it and would still be greatful for the wealth of knowledge, comraderey, and all the fun and entertainment that I get from this board. If you break it down to the bare $$$, you spend more money on snacks in the car and pops or water at the store in one month then what the subscription to this AWESOME site costs.
To me this is the next best thing to sliced bread and it would be like losing my left arm if it were to go away  . I am up for any and all fundraising ideas and REALLY appreciated the behind the scenes effort that Josh and the staff put into the irreplacable virtuial librarary and tutorial for the non mechanically inclined, my self included in that group  I just wanted to say that what ever changes finacially or not I am with you Josh on and know that you always have the sites best interest at heart. Thank you again for all you do, and not forget liz, rod, tx firfighter, and I know i'm forgeting some others, but thanks to all just the same  Randy

Josh, make it pay you well for your time or shut it down. When poeple say it's not about the money, it almost always is. It is human nature to want to be rewarded for one's efforts. Figure out what your time is worth to you, set a subsciption rate based on that and see what happens. Thanks, Lyman.

Thanks for the support all, I really appreciate it. As Liz said, this site was never about the money, it's my way to give back to the automotive community... All I ask in return is enough $$$ to run this place without putiin undue stress on myself financially... Any little extra I just spend on my truck... Sorry for the slow reply to all y'all, and those that I haven't re'd to, I'm not ignoring just taking awhile to get to everyone... I've read all the PMs and emails, and this thread for all the suggestions etc. and I am throwing them all around in my head. If we could get even 1000 members to subscribe we would have one helluva server to handle everything

You probably do not need to speak with someone in similar shoes, but Steve who runs www.ck5.com, (a Chevy K5 site that has grown to cover much more than just K5's) has had similar issues with finiancing his board and has what appears to be a pretty good system working for his site. I would be happy to get his e-mail address for you if you wanted.

I've been a member for several years but don't post much. I have learned quite a lot on this site and found several very knowlegible people. I sent Josh my membership back in June but it still hasn't cleared my bank. I send out another check to you Josh. Thanks for the great site

Josh, my hopes for a speedy recovery for your Mom, and a big THANK YOU to you and the moderators. I do visit the site daily and want you to know that it is priceless! I am fairly new and do not post hardly at all because I am such a poor typist. However it is basicly elementary that respect and disipline are necessary for the site to run efficiently. As some of us have learned that for every action there will be a reaction. A fee for use of this board is not unreasonable OR out of line, as a matter of fact it would probably help weed out users that have less than positive intentions. And then again "ENTREPRENEURSHIP" is the American way, why not let the site help you as it has so many others! I know that all the info I have obtained is worth far more than the optional 25.00 fee, books and manuals have cost me probably 4 times that, plus the added benefit of first hand knowledge of untold secrets, the camaraderie, and access to probably one of the largest parts invetory out there. As for you dealing with the full plate that you have you have my sincerest respect and admiration, I don't think I would have enough hours in my day. THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL THAT YOU DO!!!!!! John

Josh, sorry to hear about your Mom. I wish you and her the best. I had not idea you were having this kind of trouble on here. As soon as I get done with this post I am going to pay pal you $25.00. Sorry it took me so long. My wife says I just put things off. This is a great board and you should not be under any stress from anybody. I would not take no bull form anybody about "your" site. I hope all thos people who called you all those names are no longer here. This is Joshes site and he should be able to run it as he see's fit. I too love this site and I am also on here just about every day. So far my wife has not said a word about me being on here so much. I am retired so have lots of time. But I have not been on here all that long eather. You run it as you see fit. Thanks

Hey,
Where do I find out when my subscription expires? I paid my $25 and I know I am getting close to my year. I looked in my profile and I couldn't find anything there. Thanks Mike
