Hi, been using the site for 5+ years now, thanks Jarrod.
One observation, I had never gone to the “All” link before a couple days ago. Just bored and looking for some reading material. So I would never have seen the link to your message. Possibly there’s a away to get your message to everyone as they login, or re-visit the site.
Not sure what the answer is but I was a member on a forum for a different car, that cost $14.95 to join, and a 9.95 per year renewal. Without a membership you couldn’t post, only read.

Probably other solutions too, as pointed out, have the “donate” button pop up every time you login or view the forum. Not sure how many regular users there are, but something like Wikipedia, if everyone donated $xx, you could run the site for a year. Also, I’ve got an ad blocker running , so no ads, maybe a pop up every time someone goes to the forum asking the user to disable the blocker to allow ads, to support the site.

Hope you can make this keep going.
