I’d be happy to chip in to keep things going. If a hundred people did, that’s $13 a year each.

From memory I used to contribute $5 a month, but it might have stopped when I changed banks mid last year.

me too, and if we cant get 100, 50 of us at $25 would about do it......

Just picked up on the thread Glenn.
Like the comments above, I would be happy to contribute.
Great bunch of people on here. The biggest pity is our geographical separation.
 
This forum is much better than FB in every way.

How about the next time we do a can recycle run we donate that, I could easily give $50 from grog money ?

Happy to chip in fifty bucks or so a year.
How about some fundraising? I did a run of stickers a while back, I found the original in the glovebox of a wreck many, many, years ago, don't mind donating them and absorbing the postage if the money goes straight to the site. Ten bucks for the smaller ones (approx 120mm x 60) Have larger ones too (maybe double size, I can dig them out) 15 bucks a pop? Alternatively, I'll list some on Greedbay
 

 
I have a couple of other designs, Southern Cross Rally - Team Escort and Escort Rally Australian Champ that I can get made up or if anyone else can help will send files/ photos to have them printed.
 
Likewise I have a few scarce parts I could donate to have 3D printed.
 
My work project ends in a fortnight so I'll have a fair bit of free time on my hands, if its going to happen let me know and I'll strike while the irons hot.
 
 

Happy to invest in your Rally Escort stickers Drew if that gets going.
They would look great on the van!
 
I'm getting a little project off Marty soon, and may be able to print some small 3D items and donate the $$ if it kicks off and members want them. SHould have a post soon from one of us.
 
To the Admins, any idea of how many 'readers' hit the forums?
Apart from regular contributors with project cars, perhaps there might be a 'support membership' for a few bucks?
Hopefully our suggestions don't make any work for yourself though.
 
We might get it over the post for 1 year, but going forward longer term?
How long do we all think we'd likely be interested/active in the forum?
For me, I reckon at least the next 2 years, by the time i'm finished the van, and will still be looking for help after.Any Maybe offer some help in return..

Not sure on the logistics, but could several forums be merged and members navigate to the forum relevant to them?

If everyone turned off their ad blockers for this web site, it would help a lot. 
It might not be enough to cover the costs of the forum, though it will definitely help.
Clicking on ads helps too, though I'm not supposed to say that...

Here's a look back into the past - https://web.archive.org/w...sicford.mine.nu/forum/

Yeah Deano,
I'm guilty too of shutting ads off so to help I'll not go thru my VPN and if any ad I see that's relevant I'll quick check it. Trying to help here..
