PAID SUBSCRIPTIONS

First, I would like to say thanks to everyone who has joined and is an active member here. While I have not been here much lately, I have made sure the forum is always working. There are actually many problems that crop up with these forums that need to be fixed from the back-end. I would like to be more active here, but I have been working on a number of projects that have kept me very busy and were just more important and actually producing revenue. These projects are what keeps this forum running. I know some of you have tried contacting me, and I've been bad with responding, but due to these things I haven't been able to put much time or energy in the site.

CrossfireForum.org is not in any danger of shutting down or anything of that sort. I've said it before -- it really doesn't cost me much at all to run since it is hosted on a server I use for my other projects, which are doing well. However, especially with the economy how it is, and the fact that I just bought an engagement ring and wiped out most of my savings, I guess having a bit of a cushion is always nice. I've hosted this site for more than 6 years and only for a brief period did I even display ads on the site. Many of you have expressed interest in helping out in some way, and I have refused any attempts at this up until now. I have decided to change my stance.

I can't stress enough that you should not feel obligated to sponsor the forum. Even if I didn't put up the ads or have this sponsorship idea, CrossfireForum will not be shutting down at any point that I can visualize. Since it's bound to be a classic, I know people will be interested in discussing it for many, many years to come.

If anyone has any questions please e-mail me at webmaster@crossfireforum.org.
