Support for a growing forum

Yes, I'm over from the dark side to talk to ya'll about something near and dear to my heart.

I nearly missed the new notice because I didn't notice the slight change in the print on the main page until this morning, but it seems we are now over 8,000 members and still growing strong.

https://www.britishcarforum.com/bcforum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=cfrm

Basil has made several options available to help support the rising costs of the forum(s) and I think that everyone should at least take a look at it and see what they can do to help a little.

This was always a touchy subject in the past and probably still is with some. I mean no disrespect to anyone, nor do I mean to be pushy, but this forum means a lot to me and to many more who visit here daily, I'm sure. It not only provides invaluable help 24/7/365, but it provides a nice place to visit with friendly and courteous people who all share the same interests and are respectful and kind to one another. If anyone has ever visited some of the muscle car forums, they would find anything BUT a civil tone to newbies or those with questions.

It would be a shame to see it ever get cut back or disappear due to lack of funding when we have 8,000 registered members, let alone those who visit a lot with being formally recognized.

I know that it's not for everyone, but I'm just trying to make those who can help aware, so that Basil isn't bearing the brunt of this cost alone.

Respectfully,
 
Well said, Paul.

I'm a believer -- like some folks here, I "subscribe" when my anniversary date comes around. This is a powerful resource, and a real group of friends. Like with public radio, I do what I can do support something I get value from.

That's how I missed it on the first page - DUH.......

Thanks for your support!
 
Brosky...I agree and one GREAT way is buy a T Shirt...I read another post earlier this month looking at ways for BCF'ers to acknowledge each other...wearing one of the T Shirts while cruising is an easy way...personnaly I love the grey as they have a pocket and it's simple to pay through paypal....just think if a 1/4 of the membership purchased just one that would generate Basil some cash flow and hopefully some net funds for a good start and Basil one well known dude at the PO.

Basil give me 2 more an I'll nearly have one for every day of the week...wife will appreciate it as well as now I can let her wash them more often.....
 
I truly love this site and it has kept me going through some rough times. I don't have much to spare at the moment but when I get back to work I will defineitely be buying some stuff from basil to support this place. I would be very interested in meeting some of you all face to face.
 
/bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/savewave.gif Kim. Likewise. This seems to be where my friends are.

Great idea on the shirts! I wear mine to every car event that I can. It makes me easier to pic out in the crowd. Like I need that, as big as I am!
