Just wanted to remind anyone in the contributing members group that I will be deleting this group in a few weeks. Anyone still in the group at that time will be moved into the standard members group. Anyone that might have paid between the end of March and October 9, 2025 when the new system went online can PM me and I will manually add you to one of the new Donating members groups. Thanks guys!

You are very welcome, Steven. Thank you for helping run the place.

We just completed another small software update. Please let us know if you have any issues.

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble 😔

I have gone through the regional French forums and moved the posts to the French General Discussion forum. Several of them never had any posts in 18 years. Damn, I'm getting old, LOL I also moved the few classifieds into the corresponding English Classified forums. It definitely cleaned it up by removing the unused forums.

The two newest threads were two and three years old. Both were in English. Then I checked a six year old thread. It was also in English.

I know Rob had originally hopped that the French Forums would get some traffic. I was looking at that section today and there is less than 200 total posts across the entire section. Should we keep things as they are? Consolidate them down to one general discussion French language forum and merge all of the regional French forums to the one forum. Remove all of the French Forums and merge the posts into the appropriate English forums. What do you guys think?

Looks like a great parking spot!

Cool photo!

Hi Guys, Looking at last year there several contributing membership renewals in the month of February. So I figured that this would be a good time to do a membership drive. One of the nice thing about the new software is that it automatically upgrades your account to the new member group upon completion of checkout. Next year you will automatically receive an invoice a week before it's time to renew. Cancel or renew at that time. For the new system I have created new "donating members" groups. This will allow me to eventually delete the original "contributing members" group. The problem with the old system is I didn't have a good way to keep track of who paid what. PayPal only gives me an email address. Sometimes the PayPal email address matched the email address that was used here. Other times I had no clue. So once a member signed up once they remained a contributing member since their original payment whether they renewed or not the next year. This software will automatically take care of those situations. By the end of February to early March I would like to eliminate the old contributing members group. There may be a few of you that signed up between March of 2025 to November of 2025 before the new donating members groups were started. Just PM me and I can manually add you to one of the new groups. I have also added a regular donation link for anyone that would like to donate to the site that way. Thank you for all of your support over the years. Without site advertisers like we had in the past we rely on the kindness of our members. It is very appreciated. Thanks again! John Become A Donating Member
