Clammer - thank you, but THAT is not necessary. The lights are not going out - though this raffle and the others we do every year help keep the lights on. If there is a time to change hands it will be because you all drove me nuts with Cabin Fever & Flame wars! Hahahaha! But I have no serious thoughts to change hands.
Scott, 'Hound, AH - thanks guys - very appreciated!
TDF - ticket and raffle details I'll work out this weekend but like most raffles - 1 for $10, 3 for $20, 10 FOR $50. The usual Paypal Donate button and all.
Again, sorry to need to run a raffle so soon after Katrina, but it is getting necessary... What people may or may not realize, typically, after a raffle / event / once a year, I upgrade the server and run higher monthly costs in hosting. But those that have been around here for a while realize how fast the boards run these days when just compared to a few years ago. Much faster and handling significantly more data and well over 99% uptime (hope I just didn't jinx us
)... Though the backups and virus scans do slow the board down on a rare occasion.
A new thing I have been doing with S-B for the past year, in a way to give back to the fishing community, is to offer free web site hosting (no time for design) and a private club-member only message board section on S-B, to legitimate fishing clubs in New England. I have extended this offer to a few clubs that have accepted and are migrating over to my server. I can't do this for the big clubs, like the RISAAs and MSBAs, maybe in a few years, but I will offer to legit small and mid sized clubs. Just thought it is a fitting way for S-B to give back.
Thanks again!
John
