This place has been around for a while. It will be 14 years in May. We started off with a bang, and we rode a wave for a long time. We had numerous sponsors, and the finances of the forum were good. We had bank, but times change.
For the past couple of years we've only had one paying major sponsor...Chris @ ca-cycleworks...I hope you are all still supporting him as he's our major source of income. I also want to thank the minor sponsors that help out. It's really appreciated.
The point is that our account isn't strong enough to cover our server costs for the coming year, and with the sponsors we have, it won't cover it in the future... so it's time for you guys to put up.
Chris and I will make sure that we can last another year, but neither of us are in a position to carry the forum forever. I don't expect any one person to step up and be a hero. It'd be nice if everyone stepped up and kept this little community going. There's a Paypal button in the Donations thread...

Thanks for reading.
