Future of NJFBOA Forum

[BonzoHansen]

Hi everyone.

There needs to be a discussion about the future of this forum. The server bill ($336) is due in early December and there is no funds left in the till. We exhausted that last year and I covered like $95 of it.

You guys want to place to go on? Then we need some assistance. We don't have much stuff left to sell. I think Nick has some random stuff at his place. I have some pint glasses. I'd be happy to throw what ever goodies we have left at anyone who wants to kick some $$ in the till.

If we decide to keep the lights on we can have the 2nd part of this discussion regarding any path forward.

Thanks.

[IROCZman15]

I will donate some money. This forum and the people here have been good to me for many years.

[V]

I'd donate some too

[Joey D]

[LS1ow]

[Blackbirdws6]

Let's keep it rolling

[ThoR294]

same

[wretched73]

I'm all for keeping it going

[njtta150]

how do I buy a pint glass?

[BonzoHansen]

Anyone that wants to kick in can send whatever you like to my PayPal. BonzoHansen At njfboa.org

If it doesn't work out I'll send it back.

If you'd like a glass or such we can work something out

[qwikz28]

Let's keep this bitch alive for as long as we can afford to.

[thehazguy]

Just send some $$ to your PayPal account. Hope enough folks kick in to keep it going

[IROCZman15]

Just sent you some $ via paypal Scott

I hope we can get enough $ together.
If only internet servers could be funded with unused car parts that are collecting dust in the garage, we could pre-pay the server bill for 1,000 years

[wretched73]

Sent. Long live the **** posting

[Blackbirdws6]

Merry Christmas

[PolarBear]

I'll throw in some money, I don't need anything.

If we get close and need more just let me know

[BonzoHansen]

Holy ****, you guys rock. I was expecting like $10 or $20 pops. No, everything is $40 and up. We almost have enough for 2 years. That is crazy. So we live to tell our story!

maybe, not a bad idea...but the banner there is still in good shape.

I'm sure we could always use more money in the club's rainy day fund...
...were you going to contribute money or just give ideas?

i was gonna contribute and maybe more depending on if the banner is still possible :mrgreen:

[BonzoHansen]

Let's keep the focus on NJFBOA for now. A banner doesn't help us if we don't exist. What that banner cost would keep the lights on here for almost 5 years.

I'm proud to say we now have enough to keep the lights on here for 2 years. :)

Perhaps we should have a yearly donation/fundraiser period? I'm sure some other people would donate too but may not see this particular thread now or in the future. At a minimum, a thread like this is good to let us know the financial state of the club so that it gives us a chance to help. Maybe one year we can have meets again, real world dependent, and maybe emphasize collecting donations then.

Agreed. Year end donations to keep site up. Maybe sell some t shirts

I just wanted to reach out and give a belated thank you to all who kicked in last year to keep the lights on here. All said and done we received enough to pay for the server bill last year, pay the server bill this year, and we already have most of the funds needed to cover the server bill next year.

So thanks again to all of you who were able to donate and help out, and also to everyone who has helped make this place great for the last 18 years.

- Justin

[BonzoHansen]

Just bumping this up since it's that time of the year again.

The server bill is due and it looks we don't have quite enough to cover it in club finances. If you have a few extra bucks burning a hole in your pocket this holiday season and care to help keep the lights on, we'd appreciate it!

[The_Bishop]

You got it. If we need a few bucks more, let me know and I'll do what I can.
