Title: Forum Advertising and Support
Post by: DDGator on February 25, 2013, 10:11:39 AM: Hello all,

I am happy to say the new(ish) forum software is running great. Spammers have been mostly locked out. Combine that with a forum that basically moderates itself, and I am like Maytag repairman! Which is good because my life has been too busy lately...

I am happy to say that the forum is in good shape financially too. Our advertisers have been great and provide the revenue we need to keep everything running. Please remember to support our advertisers and thank them for their support!

A few people have asked me as of late if they could contribute to the forum. Honestly, we don't need any more funds at this point. That could always change, but for now we are doing just fine.

I do, however, have one cause you could support. I am trying to help raise some funds for the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Dive Team -- of which I am a member. Volunteers work 7 days a week to help maintain the environment for our marine animals in captivity at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium. This is a non-profit working marine hospital facility that cares for otters, sea turtles, dolphins--and soon manatees. Animals that can be treated and returned to the wild are returned--and those that cannot be are kept in captivity for research and educational purposes.

If you feel like making a donation, please consider the CMA Dive Team: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/winter-s-dive-team (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/winter-s-dive-team)

Thanks!

As one whose son is a marine biologist working at NOAA on implementation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, I shall be making a contribution to this worthy cause.
