• 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.

One of the biggest misconceptions on the internet is that the sites that we access for free every day are also free to set up and manage. The truth is that this site's administrators pay thousands of dollars every year. Many sites like Avsim and Flightsim get their revenue from advertisements. Not here. Sim-Outhouse depends solely on user donations. In return, you get one of the best Flight Sim sites on the web, and you get it without any advertisements. This year's $10,000 goal is to pay for both the .com page with these forums and the downloads archive and the .net page with not only its forums but also the FSHost and TeamSpeak servers. As of this writing, we currently have 7,321 members. If only 15% were to give only $10 each, we would meet our goal. That's about the same as a meal for one at a decent restaurant. If every member listed gave just $5, we could pay for service for two more years and beyond. It's not hard people, with just a little bit of generosity, this place will be here for years to come!

To donate, you can use the link at the top of every page, or to send a check or money order, Ron's address is in this thread.

When you consider how much the SOH offers us in exchange for $10.00 a year, I wish I could send MORE !!!

Thanks for everything, guys - MEMBERSHIP, OPEN YOUR WALLETS !!!

Hey guys,

I usually lead the charge on this, but I am hard-up for cash at the moment, and am unable to contribute due to some personal, unexpected expenses. For those of you who have not donated, please consider doing so. When I have some spare $$, I will be more than happy to contribute to the pot.

Let's keep this great site rolling, guys! I know you have it in ya....

Kurt,

Thanks. I haven't made it publicly known, but I've had to help my mom out for several months due to a snafu with her medical insurance, though that now is in the process of working itself through, and will be fixed by May. I intend, donation drive or not, to give my share when my financial situation improves, but having an extra drain of $400-500 per month to help out family members for several months takes a bite out of discretionary spending, as you can imagine. :salute:
 
Rami,

It's very little really, to say thank you for all the support and help you have given me - and all of us at SOH. :icon29:
