It could be interesting to be able to afford our own private hosting. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera...
I post this thread, asking for charitable contributions from Members who have no doubt benefitted from this Forum and have no problem at all sharing their writing and such....
I'm not gonna come out of my pocket for the fees.
If the vBulletin license does not get renewed - It means that there will be no further updates, upgrades and/or enhancements made to JPiC Forum. The renewal fee is due before the end of September 2008...
I see there are people who have given millions of dollars to political campaigns and not 1% of that money is coming to further the beauty that is JPiC Forum and for the arts in general. It's mind-boggling and I particularly want to say FUCK OFF! Sorry.
Again: I'm not gonna come out of my pocket for the fees that keeps this forum online and 100% free. Perhaps I should simply close down the registration process?

Members,
I agree. Ms Jacquii SHOULD NOT have to pay all the bills by yourself! I wonder if we realize that she not only created this haven of poetic bliss that we ALL benefit from but all the HARD WORK she has done to upgrade and maintain this forum!
People....if reading this.....Ms Jacquii has spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours and 24 hour non-stop work days on this site, upgrades, and so much behind-the-scene work on this site that it is unimaginable.
I will pay the fee myself if need be to help her.
I cannot even imagine JPiC closing down!!
