Dear members,
You will soon receive an email from the I.C.F. about the yearly donation.
As you know, the forum is growing month after month with an incredible amount and quality of information. I think it is the most active international forum today. The only issue is that the proboards monthly fee also increases month after month (they charge me for attachments and for the number of visits, both are increasing strongly).
So those of you who find the ICF useful and who can afford it, a small donation would be appreciated. Of course, we also accept huge donations...
Here is the link if you are interested in making a donation : www.collector-secret.com/index.php/advertise/donate/donate-insect-collectors-forum Donors will receive the 5-star "Great Aurelian - Supporter" status on the Forum
And of course, the best donation you can make is posting new interesting topics here and indicating the ICF to all your entomological friends. Cheers Olivier

I am surprised to see that Proboards charges you for the number of visits. Surely they earn more advertising revenue with more visits and don't need to charge forum owners for driving up the numbers?
Adam.

Yes they charge monthly also for visits, except if you accept them to put their own banners everywhere. Then the forum looks bad and you have some Monsanto and Baygon ads everywhere on an insect forum !
Thank you very much to the 3 donators of yesterday.

First of all, a big thanks to the members who have made a donation for next year hosting fees of the ICF. Unfortunately, donations are for the moment 22% below those of last year (and they cover 48% of the 2018 estimated hosting fees). If some other members want to help me pay for the 2018 hosting fees and can afford a small donation, it is here : www.collector-secret.com/index.php/advertise/donate/donate-insect-collectors-forumDonors will receive the 5-star "Great Aurelian - Supporter" status on the Forum. Thank you all
