I just paid for a year's worth of forum hosting

[Chris Allingham]

Is this an anniversary year for TVWBB? Nice shirt in conjunction with 2025 Smoke Day?

Yes, 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of TVWBB, and we'll celebrate WSM Smoke Day for the 21st time this coming May and have a new t-shirt.

 

[Chris Allingham]

I want to offer additional thanks to those who have made recent donations. To be transparent, I've received a net of $592, which is greatly appreciated.

Best,
Chris

Seems like folks could step up a bit more...have you thought of offering a set of Amazing Ginsu Knives as an incentive?

 

[Todd K Wisc]

Come on folks, let's get him over the $950 as besides cost, Chris is managing the forum and that all takes time.

What's up with the $ 592? Round up people, no singles. 5 -10 -15 -20- 25 etc..

I am surprised at the $592 amount.

I would have thought the donations would be over $1,000.

Anyway…bump!

Perhaps currency exchange from north of the border?

$10 Canadian is $7 US

Just a guess.

I don't know HOW to do this.

Enjoy and thanks for all you do for all of us.

I'm back on the forum again after a long hiatus. Happy to support Chris's beer fund. The forum brings a lot of joy and calories to many!

 

[JohnTak]

Thank you Chris! I recently joined another bbq product based forum and the constant bombardment of advertising made me realize what you do for us to make this a top tier forum!

 

[Chris Allingham]

the constant bombardment of advertising made me realize what you do for us

I have always tried to keep it reasonable. Believe me, I'm bombarded almost daily by folks wanting me to jam tons of ads, video ads, etc. into this forum but those emails go straight into the trash can. Maybe I'm leaving some money on the table, but I don't care.

 

[Joan]

I knew there was a reason why we love you and this site

 

[Chris Allingham]

Hey, I want to thank everyone that's sent donations since my last update on Feb 5. You've pushed the total over the line so that the entire year's web hosting has been covered! A total of $1054 in donations, minus PayPal fees of $51.04, for a net of $1002.96. Any excess goes towards annual domain name registration and annual software updates and support.

Best,
Chris

Excellent Chris! Thanks for your hard work!
