Folks...we are at 63% of this year's target for funding the two servers owned by SOH....SOH.com and SOH.net. For those who do not know, the .net server is our back up server for forums, files and is our free-to-use flight server....meaning you folks can go online and fly multiplayer with your SOH buddies. I haven't flown with anyone...but I have chatted with other SOH members who were flying in a group flight.
I know that things are tight across the board.....folks out of work, folks fearing the loss of work, folks facing ever increasing prices and ever decreasing spending power. I know that very well.....but I WILL be making my yearly donation in about a week....won't be much, but it will help fund the servers for another year.
If you have not donated to help keep SOH.com and SOH.net on the air, please do so if you can. It need not be a big donation....the price of one trip through the burger joint drive through window will do just fine if enough of us skip one high fat, low nutrition burger joint meal and send that money to Ickie to pay for the servers and bandwidth (which is HUGE...we use a TON and a HALF of bandwidth for our uploads and downloads each month).
The due date for the server payments is January 28th. If the full $9,000 needed for this year is not collected by then, the SOH.net server may go POOF and be no more. And it would be a shame to lose that resource for the flight sim community and for the stability of Sim Out-House.
