CFB51 is moving to subscriptions... Maybe.

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front): In order to maintain the site, I'll need help. A donation from members that are in a good position to do so may be enough... otherwise, we'll move toward a subscription based model of $10 a month for access to the site by the end of October 2025.

If there is enough DONATED to maintain the site, there will be no need for a subscription based model. That would be a good thing. If more than anticipated is donated, the extra will be 'given back' in the form of a prize- likely in the form of a pick'em game which will be well defined and managed by an appointed moderator other than me.

The server cost per month is $300. That would be 30 of you donating $10 each. There are more regular posters than that, here. That will be the subscription cost if we are forced to move that direction. If you're in a position to donate more than that, then you will have covered for those who can't justify the expense, and you will have done a good thing.

Important: If there is enough interest in the donation request, yet not enough to pay the monthly dues incurred by the server costs, we will move to subscription based. If there is little interest or donations which demonstrates the subscription model likely won't work- the server will be decommissioned by late October 2025.
