ScubaBoard needs your help...

I'm interested in helping directly with operating costs.
May I ask about hosting costs?

Well, I'm not making a ton of money here. This thread was launched at the beginning of the Pandemic when most advertisers evaporated. I really don't want to deal with finances here as I ran up a lot of credit card debt that I'm still trying to retire. We're not nearly in the dire straits that we once were, but I do have to count pennies most months. If you feel like helping out, cool. If you have reservations, we're still free!

I do have to say, that every time someone posts here it bumps it to the top and we get more sponsors. Thanks for that!

To be fair I'm not worried if you're making money or not. You're providing a valuable service and so I couldn't care less if you were.
I'm just offering to help with something specific

And not just a service.

Scubaboard, with all these people I've learned to know, seems like a true community. Not a dive center owned "club", but a true community. Such a thing cannot thrieve unless we all participate. Some of us might not have the money to support the running costs, but they will contribute in other ways.

Oh! I just noticed my supporter status is gone. I have to fix that! New bank and all...

Keeping SB financially healthy so that it can continue to be the place it has been is well worth the low cost of Going Red.

... and done!

I suspect you've made this up to establish to what extent I would be willing to help.
The answer is yes.

…I have been meaning to do this since I returned from ‘Life Celebration’ for Bryan Pennington at the White Star Quarry in Gibsonburg. Thanks for putting out the word. Now I can be a supporter as well. ….looking for my info in red soon. This has been a great place to meet, get informed, and just share what I have with other divers as well as reading their accounts as well….I was amazed to find many of my vintage SCUBA people on this site. Hey Thanks ‘Scubaboard’ for being ‘here’ for me.
