Hey Guys!

If you have been here for any length of time you should have noticed two things:

1. We have a GREAT community of people here.
2. The vast resource of information on your Savage.

We are continuing to grow by leaps and bounds. Which is a testament to the two points above. We have done all this without experiecing the "Growing Pains" that most sites experience. (Nevermind the 'post' problems from the other day...)

I wanted to give a big thanks to Sluggo & Savage Rob for all their hard work over the last few months. The forums would not be safe without them. Wink

Awhile back I added a 'Make a Donation' link in hopes to avoid this post. While I do appreciate the donations that have come since then, they are few and far between.

I have only asked for support one time in 3 years. This will mark the second time. If you are compelled to help out, you can use the link at the top of the page 'Make a Donation' It will further explain how you can help.

I have enjoyed serving you guys and gals over the last 3 years and look forward to the next 3 years!

Hey Guys,

I just wanted to update you on the progress of the donations thus far.

We are 1190 members strong and growing and have raised $260.00 That works out to be around .21 cents a member. I would personally like to thank those of you who have contributed so far.

I would like to encourge those of you who have not done so to consider helping out.

I would do it now but I have spent all my spare funds on fixing up and buying upgrades for the savage

The cost of running this site is very reasonable. I colocate a server and the savage share is about $30.00 per month. We are currently running on 3 year old hardware and it is showing signs of needing to be replaced. Our hardware expenses over the last three years have been around $1200.00 most of which was the initial purchase of the server.

Thanks for the inquiry.
