For the sake there is no misunderstanding as to the basis of me starting this thread, let me say absolutely clearly that I have
NO affiliation with
ANYONE on this board other than I can say I have met (electronically), some really nice people here and I have benefited exponentially from the advice I have received multiple, multiple times.
As I understand it, the moderators on this forum are totally voluntary. No payment for their services I believe.
B-man (a moderator himself), posted the following in multiple sections of this forum:
The Performance Years forums are owned and run by Chris Caspersson and his son Eric and they have been generously providing the funds to keep it running.
When I first saw this appeal for some financial assistance to maintain this forum, I only thought it fair and reasonable that as I have and continue to benefit from its existence, then a small donation is a not a big ask. For someone like myself, not based in the US but rather the other side of the world, then to repeat what I've said above, the information provided here is invaluable and I'd hate to see it diminish through a lack of support to the people providing the funds to maintain it.
I donated but later noted the enthusiasm to assist the owners fairly quickly seemed to have fallen away. Hence my starting this thread. I hope the goal is reached shortly.
At NO TIME, did I ever imagine some members might think they were being "forced" to donate. Never!
