Oh - I didn't think they meant THAT one - that one was good! It was the other tape...

My humble 0,02 EUR concerning banners?
I won't care too much about them - in fact, they are beyond my horizon of perception!

If they would be neccessary to keep this great site running, I could live with them.
But:
Calclassic's banners currently seem to make my browser go freezing - one side effect the potential banner payer should consider...

Cheers,
Markus.

I put what I could in but will have to wait for down the road to add more. Too many add ons on the ol credit card recently.

Guys,

The help I have recieved on this website is superb, a real community, even if people fall out from time to time !

The opportunity of flying online with some of you guys is a real bonus, and as such is well worth an investment from myself to keep this priviledge alive.

Thankyou for all the hard work it takes to allow me to log on at any time for my sheer convenience.

[erufle]

All I can say is cheers to your efforts and God bless you for sticking to your beliefs!

[Galand]

I am glad to contribute. This site is great!:ernae:

Right behind you Ickie and team, this is a cheap hobby compared to many and between all the members $10k should be easily attainable. I can't imagine life without SoH!

Thanks Ickie for your dedication to this site. I was so upset when our friends at Microsoft turned off thier servers and then lied to us about them coming back. I searched for a solution for CFS3 flying for quite a while until I came across SOH.

You saved me and many other who fly with us from an addiction breakdown. I would like to thank you so much from my CFS3 brothers RanMan, 2Gun, Boomerang, Iceman, Dos Maximus, Aric737, Tailwind, Mustang, Ruffus, Deer Hunter, Lightman, Zaraspook, Ganesh, Willy Spaten, DC, The Blacksheep and thier vulchin sheeps, Starcrow, First Run, Air Power, Gustoo etc. etc. etc. and all the other fellas who I have missed out (forgive me old brain power) which we fly with on a regular basis from all over the world because of your efforts.

I personally have had one of the worst years of my life financially but I can assure you when things pick up I will contribute generously as you have provided us with the ability to fly and build our friendships and enjoy the thrill of combat.

I cannot count the hours of enjoyment you fellas have provided us by connecting us all togther. You are a fine group of fellas and I'm sure our group who flys CFS3 will step up to assist you in keeping SOH up and running. Its greatly greatly appreciated.

All the best,

I don't think we have to worry about having banners on the site....before that happens, Ickie would begin selling copies of the video tape he has of Henry dancing on a table top dressed in drag. I, for one, am more than willing to pay to prevent the public release of that video.

OBIO

That was funny !

And made my eyes bleed somewhat too...

I hear that is where Pee Wee Herman got the idea for the table dance in his movie.

While the second server will add greatly to the reliability and speed of the SOH/Combatfs family of forums, preserve the current level of the download library and bring us a dedicated SOH FS'host for on line flying....it will not be free...we have to pay for it...meaning...we the members will have to open our wallets and send money to Ickie to pay for it all. I will gladly chip in what I can when I can through out the year to help pay to keep my addiction, I mean...favorite sim site up and running. Now the site needs its members generosity more than ever....we are now looking at about $10 thousand dollars a year to keep this site up and running...and that is just paying for the servers and band width...not counting any needed upgrades or repairs that may be needed down the road.

So, SOH/Combatfs members, it is time that more of us open our wallets and make small personal sacrifices to fund this site. Simply sitting in your chair while downloading free files while letting a few hundred members foot the bill will no longer work. We are calling on those members who have enjoyed the benefit of the forums, of the download library but who have not made donations to join those of us who have supported this site year after year with our contributions. I have never been able to give much, but I have been able to give something these last few years...and I know that my something added with all the other somethings have gotten the job done.

We have close to 17 THOUSAND members on the SOH/Combatfs family of sites. 17 THOUSAND! If each one of you, each one of us, donated a single US Dollar...we would have all the money we need to fund this site and to have a nice reserve for future expansion and repairs. If half of the total membership donated 2 US Dollars, we would still be in the shade.

But having 300 members trying to fund a $10 thousand dollar a year site is simply not feasible or realistic.

I know everyone will be excited about this site now having two servers, more bandwidth, a dedicated online flying site...now how many of you will show that excitement by hitting the Make a Donation button and helping to pay the bills?

OBIO

A very good point.
One that deserves some careful thought.
