I think most,if not all of us,can agree that we have a great site here and the bottom line is that it costs money to keep it going.There are sponsers and some members who contribute but I'm sure Ron foots more than his share of the bill and puts in a lot of time and effort into this site.Yesterday,it was discovered that,this site has reached 80% of it's bandwidth and the forum will have to be upgraded which means paying for more usage.Ron hasn't put me up to starting this thread and isn't aware I'm about to post something like this,it's just that I think he could use a little help from us.
If you enjoy this site and would like to see it continue,go to the bottom of the screen and click 'Donate'.Give what you can.I plan on giving 10-$20 every now and then but am asking you to give whatever you can...even if it's $5.
Thanks for reading my rant...and Ron,hope your not upset with me,bud. ;) Donate button is on the home page
-
Well said Swampbuck, Thank you.
-
I truly believe in support what you enjoy. I for one have enjoyed this site and have learned allot. I never new about salmon river and I plan on a fishing trip next year because of this site. I have also learned about patience in the woods as well as look for deer behavior. Things in 26 years of hunting NY i never new about. To think of all the does that I harvested,of what could of been behind them. A donation of $5-$25 of each person her can secure this site for a long time. Sportsman helping Sportsman.

Thanks Matt.I've got to meet some great guys because of this site...like yourself.
aokmorelli,you've got THAT right!I've learned a lot here too and it's been good sharing our experiences and showing off what we bag,land or trap.There is no other site like this in the area and I'd like to see it around for a long time and if giving a few bucks here and there to keep it is what it takes then so be it.Why should just a few have to pay the way for something we all enjoy?Sportsmen Helping Sportsmen.

You guys are great thanks again Ron.

Thank you. ;)

Sent a small donation. Its the least I could do, after all this site keeps us all in the loop, and gives us a forum to solicit/or get information related to our passion.
Thanks Ron for all you do.
-
Thank you to bro... ;)
-
It's about time for me to send in some thing. Next few days!
-
What about doing something like a membership packet?
$25 donation sticker
$60 hat+sticker
$100 T-shirt, hat & sticker
I'm sure this idea has been tossed around but figured I'd share my thoughts on generating some revenue to offset operating costs.
-
Ron - Thanks for such a great site ....... I know I haven't been on in a while, but I hope our donation help keep the site going.

Received a couple more donations recently and just want to say thank you to the donaters
-
Just want you all to know how much I do like this site. Being that it is winter time and I am a carpenter I can't donate right now. I will donate in the near future though once things pick up.Once again this site is awesome and I'm just starting to be involved.
-
Thank you for the recent donation.. (beers)
-
Thanks again for the recent donations.. (beers)

I would encourage those who enjoy the site and would like to see it continue and expand to please consider making a donation. A Free site truly isn't free to the owner of the site. There are costs associated with the operation of the site. Additionally there are huge amounts of time that are devoted to the operation of the site that could never possibly be compensated for.
It is the hope of ownership and staff that in the near future we can have a greater empahsis on events that bring us all together. More fun and more camraderie, which is what the site is all about.
Please consider a contribution if you are in a position to do so.
-
I'll be sending another donation soon.

Ron just sent you a small donation thanks for the great site.

Thank you all who have donated to keep this great sight up and running.
Since I have joined HVS I have met so many great people from here. I have became friends with many here and got to know their families. So many folks here are quick to help and lend a hand to folks who need help. The charity work many from HVS do for folks in need is heart warming. The list goes on and on.
The cost of running a sight like this adds up and rely on donations from you all. Have an extra $5 $10 that you can use to help keep this sight running? Please use the donation button and help keep this great sight up and running. Do not have a pay pal account you can send a check made out and mailed to:
