    Thank you to all those that have donated, and those that might donate in the future.

    A little longer explanation as it was late last night when the torch bearers came...:smiley

    I've owned the site for nearing 10 years now and was interested in modestly monetizing the site, in the interest of not wholly eating ~$1,500/yr. I'm not looking at ROI targets, nor am I performing a P&L scrub each month as I do at my facility, but did want what I do, and the time I do spend in and around the site, to count.

    In addition to the above, my thought was, the revenue generated would help facilitate me being able to provide more opportunities for annual meets, t-shirts, stickers, swag, etc...at minimal costing to the members.

    With the above said, I started the $0.99/mo subscription service in mid October 2021. New members have been trickling in, some join and then cancel the subscription service. The vetting process of new members, and account creation does take time, and when I receive an email relative to a new member, I pretty much drop everything to build his account. Not because the $0.99/mo is important to me, but I feel like customer service is important and I love getting those emails appreciating the speedy service.

    As of the writing of this post, the ads have been removed. I appreciate the concern and the feedback, as the mission relative to this site, has always been friendly, mature commiseration centered around the ZHP, and BMW's, life, family, friends, careers, etc in general.

    You guys are like family to me. I've known many of you for going on a decade now, and I anticipate for many more decades to come.

    Wishing you guys/gals all the best during the holiday season and a great start to 2022.

    Cheers/

    Merry Christmas guys. Thank you

    And just to be clear:

    1. For new members that are already on the subscription service, obviously, no need to do anything additionally.

    2. For the OG's that don't donate, there would obviously be no ill will for not subscribing. If you feel inclined, great. If not, you're still family...hehe.

    Thanks Dane for the open book financial review. I'm sure many of us were unaware of how or who bore the financial and time consuming burden of providing this great forum for us, yet alone creating a group of vetted members to insure the quality of our experiences here

    And the "Subscribe" set up couldn't be any easier with the PayPal approach, so thanks for that

    I say don't hesitate in the future to tell us at any time if there are costs that aren't covered...... this family has reaped the rewards many times over from your generosity and it's long past the time for us to pay it back (or forward)

    Happy holidays to all! Stay safe

    Pete
