Greetings fellow BimmerBoard users,

As you can probably imagine, running BimmerBoard requires quite a bit of work and a decent sum of money each month for hosting charges and the Roundel and Bimmer magazine advertising. Our moderators, particularly Mark Wong, John Carey, Wynne Huff, Keith French and Eric Voelkel (slap me if I forgot someone), have all done an outstanding job and are to be commended.

BimmerBoard has a handful of advertisers who are much appreciated and we also participate with a number of affiliate program banner ads, which you've probably noticed. It would be nice for the site to become self-supporting, financially-speaking, as my wife dutifully points out that my hobby/passion accumulates a decent sum of charges each month on my credit card. I'd like to expand and improve the site, as well, which requires funding.

Quite a few of you have suggested that I start accepting donations from members, so today is the day. You'll notice a new PayPal donation button at the top left of the page.

Anyone who makes a donation will receive a bimmerboard.com email address (e.g., yourusername@bimmerboard.com), 200MB of file storage for photos, and their username will be displayed with a tiny roundel to distinguish it as a "donating member".
