• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

  • Server side Maintenance is done. We still have an update to the forum software to run but that one will have to wait for a better time.

Bandwidth Drive 2025

It is that time of the year again, Bandwidth Drive 2025.

Well we are really late in getting the drive started this year. The good news is we have never needed less than we need this year. SOH needs $3,500 USD ($3,237.84 after fees) to keep the hangar lights on. We are looking for $3,500 to make sure all of the PayPal fees are covered. https://www.paypal.com/us/business/paypal-business-fees

Bad news is we need the bulk of the donations before April 9th 2025.

You might ask
Where the money is going? and that is a fair question.
Hosting server. $2,879.88 (due April 9th, 2025)
Server Software, Forum Software and addons. $357.96 (1st due April all others in Sept)
PayPal fees. $323.78 (This is hard to get fixed number for but we believe we will need to add around 10% to are total to make sure the fees are covered.)

All of the domain names are paid for until 2026/2029. Any overages will be put into extending the domain names that are due next year or into old paint cans for safe keeping in case the hangar need a emergency repair.

Please Donate today! Please see the pinned message in Ickie's NewsHawks for a full cost breakdown and for how to snail mail a donation.
