Our Annual Support Drive is half done!
Many thanks to those of you who have been able to support our annual fund drive so far this year. It is deeply appreciated by all. We're running a bit behind last year's pace, but every little bit helps! One week to go.
As we did last August, it's time for our annual two week fund drive. It's been an eventful year--enhancements to the site, partnerships with outside entities, explosions in datacenters, etc.
As announced earlier in the week, I do have some initiatives in place that may make this unfortunate, distasteful, but wholly necessary beg-fest more avoidable, but in the meantime, "papa need a new pair o' shoes," as it were, to keep the site fast, reliable, and useful.
Might you be persuaded to support the forum as a new or renewing subscriber, as they say in public radio? You'll be glad you did.
