I say let us know how much you are behind and maybe we can do something about it. Have a paypal account? We can all put in what we can to ensure the future of this forum. I remember when foilzone went down. So much information just gone. Horrible lost.

Hey Toby,
I want you and this site to succeed but I don't think a traditional crowd-sourced donation model will work. You know I worked in kitesurf media sales since for practically forever, send me a note and let's get on a call and I'd like to help you figure this out.

If kiteforum is making just loss, give me the domain and I'll take over and run the forum without donations

Toby your sponsors need to know that 50% of my kiteboarding buying decisions are based on knowledge I get from Kiteforum. I have a garage full of gear.
I start every morning visiting KF.

Yep -- me also !
I got paypal , ready and waiting, for a $100-USD donation ; it's
all i can afford , and it will definitely cut into my Jack or Jim drinking time
but , it would be worth it. I can do without the Booze ; can't do without KF !!

I pay a subscription to kiting magazine.... I read KF way more and find it so much more informative. I would like to pay subscription or something similar.

I'd chip in. This is my most visited site next to reddit and would be terrible to see it go.

Crowdfunding will take 5%, just stick a PayPal donation link on the site. I'd chip in a few bucks to keep this place going.
