    Folks, there is a new forum software update available for NMS.
    In the past i've used sponsor money to purchase the software and over the last 4 years i've paid for everything myself.

    However, times are changing, so, i'm throwing it out there to all members and asking how would you feel to support NMS this time around, i hate to be seen to be asking for money and many will feel that the site should be free and that is perfectly fine by me.
    We have the opportunity to revamp the front end of the software and make it more pleasing to the eye etc

    We can also include to anyone who donates things like, extra capacity PM storage, larger picture and avatar pictures and hosting an exclusive area where only paid members can visit, we can also make the site private again so that only members can view it.
    Also, we can see about getting a new logo (banner) etc etc

    I've no idea where to pitch the fee at or if anyone wants to.
    I'd just like to say that no one should feel any pressure to make any donation and this is not a call for any donation now.

    The new software is around $240 US Dollars plus tax and if every one of the 51 members who logged in today paid that would only be $4 each, in fact, i'd be happy to make the first $25 donation

    Note: The poll is private and no one can see the results of who posted

    Snap - I for one appreciate you looking after NMS financially for the last few years while there has been no financial sponsors.

    I'm happy to chip in. Can't remember what I pay to get Mini World delivered, but I get a lot more enjoyment from NMS. Don't know if we need new software, but I will leave that to the experts.

    I'll make a donation too - but I'm not really 'Paypalled-up' to do it directly - I was at one time, but it's been a long time since I've used it And Paypal...
    Worst comes to the worst, I could maybe do a 'joint' double-donation with Malcolm if he's OK with that and settle my share with him over here? Over to you Malcolm!

    Remember, if the new software makes the site go t*ts-up, I had nothing to do with it and thought it was a terrible idea

    Euan, not a problem as I use paypal on a regular basis and I trust you. Nearer the time you can let me know how much.
