Thanks for all of the support, everyone. We really do appreciate it. I hope the sites become invaluable to everyone who uses them. Judging by the please to hurry while the sites were down, I think we are well on the way.
I have been told many times recently to make these forums subscription based, like a magazine, with a small yearly fee for use. This is something I do NOT want to do. It was never my intention to make a profit from the site(s), but in the 2-3 years that we have been around, the growth has been staggering and surprising, at best. The changes on all of the sites recently was not without reason. I think January showed more than 8 million hits, collectively. Crazy.
One suggestion I have been given is to open up a PayPal account, for voluntary donations to the system, so to speak. I think this will allow whomever wants to contribute, to do so at their own will, and in whatever means they feel comfortable with. This will ALL help keep things going. Please do know, that this does not imply any stock or ownership in the sites, but it is appreciated GREATLY.
Anyone who wishes to donate to the "cause" can do so via PayPal, to the e-mail address: donations@apexspeed.com. Anything that comes into the sites, goes back into the sites, you can be sure of that. This is entirely voluntary. Nothing is expected from anyone.
Thanks for all of the support, everyone.
