Fundraising for forum upgrade!
Okay guys, here's the deal. The time has come for a forum upgrade. The new version of Vbulletin does a lot more than our version does - a mobile version being one of them. There are also features such as
Photo Albums
Calendar
Events Management
Blog
Article-based Publishing
In other words - a more up to date, and modern system.
We need about $300 to do this.
I have just found out that we have an anonymous member who has promised to match any donation from another member - one dollar for every dollar donated, up to a max of $100. So if we have someone here who wants to chip in a good chunk of mooolah, our anonymous donor will match it! How about that!
I am willing to set a side a day of upgrading and tweaking the new forum, when the time comes, probably early January.
But first, we need the funding. We have $35 so far, from 2 members in December. Want to help this cause? There is a button at the top left - you can't miss it.

The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Just $10 from 10 people equates to $200 in total revenue. Surely some folks can do $10 to see their favorite forum upgraded.

I just donated as well. Being a very new member I must admit I visit this forum a few times a day and have not only learned a lot, I've found new music to enjoy and realize that there are lots of people in guitar land just like me.
Merry Christmas to all!
