Well, if you tried to get on the site this morning, you'll have noticed its non appearance. Yep, it's annual hosting bill time! For some reason, they didn't seem to send any kind of reminder, which is why there was this temporary interruption in service. We apologize for any inconvenience, and appreciate you bearing with us through this difficult time.  Should be good again now.
Anyway, hijacking last year's post, rather than bothering with a new one, to say that contributions to the annual server bill would be very much appreciated. There is a Paypal button on the front page, which will take you over to PayPal, where you can donate using any major credit-card [Trash City, should you care, is our umbrella company!]. We have a bit of a balance left over from last year, so the goal is somewhere around $120 to cover hosting, domain names, etc. for the next year, so hopefully, people will be able to chip in a few bucks for the forum.

Thanks to Terry and Andrew for their latest donations. Seems to have gone quiet of late: we're still a tad short, but guess I can just lurk outside Chase Field and mug people for the balance!

My profuse apologies for the delay. Too much on my plate lately (but not complaining - it's a good problem). Finally got this done. Appreciate all you do, Jim. (and moderators!)

It's that time of year again when our server provider requires annual payment to keep the Bullpen online. There is a Paypal button on the front page which will take you over to PayPal where you can donate using any major credit-card [Trash City, should you care, is our umbrella company]. If enough of us chip in a few bucks each we should be able to cover the costs of hosting, domain names, etc. for the next year. We'll keep you updated on our progress. Thanks for your help and also for your participation at Diamondbacksbullpen.org!

I'm not seeing the PayPal link. On the main page with all the thread topics, or the first page of the Team News thread?

And, target achieved!
Many thanks to all who contributed, we're good for the year,
Oh, and dbbp.org should soon be back up and fully running too. It got renewed, but was still "parked". Fixed that, so when the change takes effect, it should take you right into the forum again.
