Hi Mike,
Took a few months off-line so missed all this (first time in over 30 years!). My donation is also coming.
I'm happy to go with a donation model, even putting out a call every couple of months if needed. I would also support a yearly subscription to SELL on the classifieds - it would eliminate any scammers & still allow access for new members to make use of the site. I don't really like the idea of a subscription just to use the rest of the forum, that may drive too many away & prevent encouraging new members to become involved.
I think the site itself needs a "refresh" and more regular updates. It's been about 10 years since the last review or article was done. People need to be encouraged to write on what they know, not just on the forums but instead keeping at least the article section new & fresh - so much has changed. I would do some, but my lack of real knowledge would be a let down. And some of the links & info are so out of date (IceInSpace AstroCamp???). We need something new!
While it has been over 20 years since I ran websites & forums I'm willing to help in any way I can if you need it.
Cheers,
Mark
