Yup, we made it to the big two- oh... well, technically not until Feb 3, but close enough.. Last couple years have been challenging for many of us, but thru it all our yearly contributions to help pay for this deal have remained strong. I can't thank you all enough, and we could not do it without you. As we go into our 20th board year, the only real news is that registration is now subject to my personal approval.. this is the only sure-fire way to keep the spammers off the board. As I sit and type this, my info tells me that there are 9207 users waiting for moderation.. to gain full access to the board. The vast majority of these are spammers. Now obviously I can't go thru all 9somethousand of these registrations to determine which ones are valid, and which are spammers. While some filters can help, I have found it best to simply request that a new user send me an email at jim@trishieldperformance.com to have their registration validated. So if your reading this, and are signed up, but can't fully participate... drop me a line.. For the rest of you, here's the info for donating, as well as the list of those of us who have already done so. Thanks in advance for supporting this community.

Wow, with all the members we have if they would each donate $10 I bet it would cover the cost of the V8 site.
Agreed! I truly appreciate this board and will donate in Feb after my ~60 days of no pay is over... -MIG
Yup, but it has never worked out that way.. it has always been a relatively few individuals that support the board year after year, like you Fred..and provide it for everyone. Thanks JW
Hey @Jim Weise Just sent mine directly to your pay pal (from the wife’s account). Will send you a PM with info. Thanks for all that you do! Nick
If you're using the mobile site, you gotta click the menu icon to show the Donate link. If you're like me, I just saved you about five minutes of searching for it haha
Jim, why don't you take 1/2 the refund your going to send and put it into the board as my annual donation
Just a thought, this thread should have a duplicate in "The Bench" so that more forum members will see it.
List updated, thanks to all who have/are contributing to the board. Brian, I will post a link to from this thread to the bench forum here in a few weeks to widen the audience ... to give proper credit for supporting the board to those that do, as well heighten awareness of the annual fund drive. Thanks JW
