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.
