If we'd have started the forum from scratch as it is now I think we would have asked for donations straight away.
As it is we moved from a free Kop talk versus that horrendous membership gold site so the last thing we wanted to do was to ask for cash dunc style.
The costs were also much much lower to start with, but as the site content increased, along with technical advances & forum evolution (video embedding & loads of other technical stuff I'd struggle to explain) meaning more bandwidth was required, then the decision to move to licenced software increased costs further & we (well, the other owners, truth be told I've not been able to afford to do it for a long while, sadly) just continued to pay it without too just thought.
I must mention Sean at this point, whilst he no longer posts here, he paid a fair bit in when I couldn't afford to as well as paying some additional costs here & there without asking for donations.
Of course the other lads have covered my contributions too, the forum has been running on the good will of a few individuals from a long time.
A quick word about the forum software, xenforo, that we run on & that you guys will be paying for should you donate. Amazing decision by Sean (& Jono/RedNinja was involved too) to choose this software, avforums have just switched to it, they're a huge & technically switched on forum who said it's the finest software anywhere, their front page layout is inspiring, I hope we can one day maximise the software potential in a similar fashion.
Cool. If you get around to thinking about how to take things forward and need another head / pair of hands I'd be happy to get involved - I work in the 'web' space.
I might bare that in mind.
I want to upgrade the software to xenforo 2.0. But it will break the current template in certain areas. I may need assistance in that department to make it compatible.
Going to be a sad day when Ross trades in veteran posters like Vlad and JJ on high post counts for new upcoming posters with potential.
Yep I'll happily chuck some coin in the pot. Let me know how and when fellas. I don't know why Ryan is getting on his high horse. Pretty much every regular poster has said they will contribute. Apart from @peterhague of course. The cunt...... £3 for the swear box 😉
You know why.
I'd be glad to contribute. I like you cunts more than half of the people I'm surrounded with daily.
I would like to be the last person to donate, however, when the sight is about to be closed. Then I will save the day and you will all like me.

Donation pledge here.
Where and when?
Where and when?
1 million in unmarked 10s and 20s in a plain holdall in the ally at the back of boots.
Tonight at 8. Be alone.
Donate my own hard-earned cash? Never.
Oh, go on then.
Oh, go on then.
If those are the costs there will be no problem raising the necessary funds. I'll happy contribute. PayPal is easiest for all as even if you don't have an account you can still use it.
Cheers
Kevin
What ! You mean those who donate will not get 'on the spot wheelie bin insider updates' !? Scammers !
