Things to consider:
That being said, and while I am beyond confident in our (and my) financial stability, I am extremely thankful for all of our supporters and their assistance in helping me recoup costs and assure that the forums will continue to run. I have learned more from hosting this website than I ever did in any college or educational institution. For everyone helping me and our entire community grow, I am very appreciative.
Cheers to 2015.

Things to consider:
- The forum ran without accepting donations until July 4th, 2014.
- The forum has one 200x200 advertisement on the index page for guests only.
- The forum has doubled in active users every four months
- In the last 30 days, we have served 4,600,000 page views.
- Kiwi, our MySQL server, is paid for until August 2016. If it wasn't, I'd only be down $500 for all two years combined.
- I am consciously aware of how much donation money has been contributed and I set aside that amount in case something happens.
