Looking for your input to keep the forum sustainable for years to come.
I have purposely kept the forum free of charge to everyone, I enjoy the forum and what it has to offer and I always felt the forum can offer and house information that regular social media cannot.
I have looked at ways to offset the cost of running the forum and I keep coming back to one main point, I really do not want to introduce a third party or advertise on the forum to get financial reimbursements. Right now, we are free from any advertising on the forum which is an option I elected to have right from the get go.
Have a look at the poll please and let me know your thoughts.

What do you estimate the average yearly cost is to run the forum/keep it up?

If we keep things as they are without adding more storage capacity, between this site and the website links etc...it can be between $300 to $450 I am still adjusting the storage usage so it can be less or more.

I checked on contribute box but dont know if it sends itself or what to do with my vote? Yes, I am good with marine stuff but not how to vote by e mail:) POTUS doesnt like voting by USPS mail or worse yet e mail, ? Wouldn't it be nice to vote by mail (I can as over 65 in GA you can request a permanent vote by mail ballots so that is what I do)

$10 seems very reasonable to me.
