benos Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 When I was a dealer for Dillon Precision, the Dillon sales generated from the forum's traffic justified the expense of hosting and maintaining the forums. Now that I am no longer a Dillon Precision dealer, the monthly expense of hosting and maintaining the forums - with zero revenue generated from them - is significant, and becoming prohibitive. To keep the forums alive, and in the "no advertising in the general forums" format that they have been in since their inception, each month I'd like to ask members to make a small donation to help keep the forums up and running, ad-free. Here's the link my store's Donate page: http://brianenos.com/shop/shopdonate/ NOTE: The Password to access that page is: runtime And there is a "Donate" button at the top of the forum's home page - it accepts credit card or PayPal payments. For you old-school types, for check donations: Brian Enos 303 W. 10th Street Tempe, AZ 85281 I noticed in the Forum Control Panel, a lot of credit card donations were not completed / still in pending status. So if you made a donation please double check your member account section to complete the donation. Thank you! A HUGE THANK YOU to all the forum members, who, day after day, make this a such great place to hang out and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 The donations section of my store does not permit access to email addresses, so I can't send "thank you" emails. So to the 4 members that donated so far - thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 A donation did not come through from you Sarge. I can't say why it isn't working because now we are up to 8 donations from members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatJones Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Brian, Tapatalk says if I upgrade to the paid version, they share the proceeds with the forums I view. Is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkadi Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Even if they do, there is like 10 persons here with premium Tapatalk subscription. At $1 per month - not much of a help, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
