Badges, $upporters of this community

Query
Why not give anyway - many posters and myself have not attacked you - it’s like the WFAN critique of Yankee fans ( of which I am) when many if not most are decent and respectful.
I’m glad your on this board no matter what

Rapper’s post was quite prescient as he has been banished from the board for a while now General.

I believe it was self-banishment.

First off, thank you to @otis for leading the fund raising efforts for this site this past year. Today I got a bill for $650 to renew the domain. This is just one annual fee that I pay regularly to keep this site going. There are many fees for software, license/subscriptions, software tech support and other development beyond my own time.

I have always wanted to keep this a true community site and not charge anyone. When I first started this site, I was a small
I am grateful to the men who have spent so much time on here volunteering for over quarter century! @Knight is super diligent accomplished men who surely have a lot better things to do, volunteer their time often on a daily basis. With the passing of SJUFAN2 I have felt especially inadequate in expressing this gratitude to these men.

When we transitioned over to this new site last March/April, @otis asked for $upport. And then at the end of the year he …the donor includes a note thanking me! Again, I feel inadequate to express my gratitude.

BADGES:
These thing have been on my mind and I've been working on and slowly implementing some new features. The site now includes some badges … categories and for different reasons.

For those of you who have made a donation in 2022, you will now have a badge recognizing this on your profile page and within the profile box on your forum

So I tried matching up some of these manually but I may have missed some.

The donations are processed by donorbox which is a trusted 3rd party organization that does the same for organizations like Habitat for Humanity. There is a link in the main menu "Contribute" which goes to Otis' appeal but I will probably update that and you can also click direct:

Thank you again,

You’re the best and from Ronald Dahl’s James and the Giant Peach I tip my hat to you:
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Without you
they’d be no us

( …see, we’re family, all of you and me )
