I just looked at the BadWeB account, and about half of our $200/mo expenses are coming out of my own pocket. We had a decline beginning early this year, and no big one time donations. Forum stats show that 350 BadWeB users have logged-in during the past month, over 1,500 in the past year. Gosh, if just a hundred would chip in a couple bucks a month, we'd be golden. It ain't fair for just a few to carry the burden. We're down to fifteen folks contributing on a monthly basis. If anyone else can help, it would be much appreciated! PayPal to support at badweatherbikers daht com Thanks! (Message edited by blake on November 09, 2018) |

Wow; I feel bad. I don't get my Social Security until the end of the month. However, Badweb is very important to me. I can send a little now and hopefully, I'll remember after I get my monthly stipend and send a little more then. |

This is a site, that I go to for more than just Buell stuff. There are some really smart and informed people here, and I truly appreciate the information I get on this site. |

The recurring payments are really the best way to go. There may come a time where we need to figure out how to move this to a cheaper host on some sort of shared hosting. Data conversion is the big problem. |

To continue, I'm paying about $200 per year for my site and forum, I would expect the database for this site would require at least one level above my plan. Would we as a group be willing to fund a conversion to another form of software to move this? I know one person I can contact that might be able to pull it off. No idea on pricing though. |

I can't remember the last time I sent 50 bucks, so it must be time to do it again. DONE!! Thanks to the Badweatherbikers moderators and tech types who keep one of the greatest online communities of decent human beings, (and a few entertaining trolls) going. |

Once Blake gets past this crisis, it would be helpful to know how many regular subscribers he has and what we each need to contribute (per month or per year) to keep the site in the black. |
