Changes to forum host billing

[ezman604]

Just received a message from our hosting company. Seems one of the software companies has sold and gone to a buyers group. They have increased the cost of the control panel by as much as 600%. DANG!!!!
Our host has been negotiating with this software company since they had a contract that was supposed to keep the same pricing until 2023. So they have decided to absorb most of the increase in cost themselves. But it will mean a slight increase in our monthly hosting fee starting in November. It can't be helped and I understand changes such as this. Many companies sell to conglomerates that are shareholder profit driven. Anyway, I just wanted you all to know our cost of staying alive just went up a bit. Keep this and the fact that we are solely donation funded in mind. We're not in panic mode YET, and hope you won't allow us to get in that mode.
Thanks to all for your continued support.

SAFE & Happy Shooting!!!!
Dave

Thank you for keeping us informed
GTA is a special place because of the members!


Fund raising is not fun but a raffle for slots to shoot off Travis hot tub or a dollar to vote for a worthwhile candidate would be fun!

Just donated to the cause. Who's next?

[JBinCO]

Fair enough
Possibly less fun but equally rewarding!

$10 sent.


with over 15,000 members, if each sent just $1 a month we could have a surplus.

[ezman604]

Imagine if every registered member DID send in just $1. We could support MANY important causes and also have one heckova annual Fun Shoot.

And also, MANY thanks to those that DO show their continued support to keep us alive!!!
