Donation Drive 2015

Hello all,

It is that time again as the coffers for the site are running very low again - to a point where I can only keep the site online another 3 months or so.  The upgrade to the new site resulted in the donate banner going away so that really cut back on people donating.  I plan to get some kind of donate link back up as well as some kind of advertising solution to help support the site.

Anything you can contribute will help.  Below is a link for this:

If you want to donate via a check please message me on the site @mooniac58

Thank you for all your help!

I wanted to thank everyone for the support!  We are sitting on enough cash to keep things humming for 10-12 months now. 

Going forward what I would like to do is

  1. Give members who have donated in the past year a special ranking.  Instead of "Members" you will be something like "Supporter" or "Contributor"
  2. Ads will be added throughout the site.  Initially these will probably be a mix of Google ads and hopefully campaigns I can get from Mooney or aviation vendors
  3. Members with the rank outlined in #1 will *not* see any ads - as a contributor I don't think you should have to see the ads

This will create a lot more overhead for me having to manage the status of members and ad campaigns but with a little luck I might make enough to justify my efforts.

Hopefully if I can get the coffers a lot fuller I can justify hiring in an IPBoard developer to customize the site a lot more and bring back our home page and perhaps other cool features.

Thanks again!
