Hello everyone.
As some of you know, we created WBF Forum as a place we could all hang out and have cordial conversations about all things that interest us from audio to food. It has been our privilege to be your hosts and see and learn from your contributions.
So far we have done so without any source of revenue. Alas the expenses of the forum have been accumulating and becoming quite significant. The expenses are now in thousands of dollars since inception due to the cost of the software, its maintenance, and hosting. And of course the cost is ongoing.
At this point in the evolution of the forum we thought it makes sense to lean on generosity of our membership to help offset our expenses using a donation system. Of course contributions are voluntary. To the extent you are finding value in the forum, we hope that you contribute whatever amount you see fit to help us continue to run the forum into the future.
There is now a "Donate" button next to "What's New; Forum" at the top of the forum. You can also reach it with this link: http://www.whatsbestforum.com/pay.html
As you see there, we are using Paypal for donations. Once you select an amount from the drop down menu, it will take you to the standard Paypal login and then cart. You can change the "quantity" there to modify the set dollar amounts. For example if you like to donate $40, you can select $20 and then choose 2 of that line item. Their software is written for purchasing things and is not the best interface for donations.
Thank you for your generous support of WBF Forum.
