I will that up to our host but running the forum with volunteers is not a cost item, hosting and paying for the internet offering is. I know of one aviation forum in Canada where the host says it costs him around $1000.00 a year to do so in direct costs.

Amazing how many are upset about the ads and blaming them on greed rather than being necessary to offset the cost of running this forum. Lots of complaints but no offers of $$$$$ to remove the need for the ads. Go Figure.

I suspect that the ads allow our host to keep the board running as I would bet the donations would not be keeping it going.

why would any well educated person refuse to be vaccinate and in particulate pilots who have for decades had to do to and provide proof of their vaccination when flying foreign?
