Packard Forum Index » General

Well I just renewed the Server Hosting contract for the next year, so PackardInfo is locked in for another 12 months. Now I just have to hide the credit card statement from the wife when it comes in the mail or she will have me living out of my Packard!

Why not put a Paypal link up on the site?

If a few would throw in 5 or 10 bucks each, might make some dent in the bill.........

LOL....just noticed you have a spot for that.

Thanks to those Gentlemen that donated funds to help offset the out of pocket expenses that occur from hosting and running the website. It is most appreciated!

With as large as the website has grown I know that sometimes people forget and new folks may not realize that there is not a business or club behind the scenes funding everything, and with the exception of the unsolicited donations I receive, I fund the nearly $1,000 of expenses (dedicated hosting, domain, software licensing, support fees, etc) a year out of my personal pocket as my way of giving back to the hobby.

So a special thanks!

Also thanks to everyone that have contributed content to the website, and helps out here in the forums when folks have questions and need advice. That in itself is priceless.

Before making the switch to a packard several months ago, I curated 2 mercedes club websites for 10 years. After I sold my 53 mercedes in June, I turned the site over to 2 capable members. It was an interesting experience learning html, php, installing software, dealing with crashes and bugs, installing and maintaining forums, etc. webspace and server issues, FTP. Spent 2 years with Joomla CMS software. All this only to mention a supportive understanding of Big Kev's contributions and efforts in pulling the switches, bells and whistles behind the scenes for this wonderful site. Thanks
