"Supporter" designations removed

[Administrator_JSVN]

Good morning, everyone.  I'd like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank all of the members (and a dealer) who offered their support of the forum monetarily in the past.  Your contributions to the previous forum administration was greatly appreciated.

It seems that the "Supporter" designation has created some confusion.  There have been members who have contacted the moderators asking how they can contribute.  Obviously, we want to fully absorb the costs associated with the forum just as we have done for several years now.  Therefore, there's no longer a need for members to make monetary contributions.  All we ask is for for your contributions in the way of posts, projects, photos and video.  That being said, I have removed the "Supporter" designations. 

I did make note of those who were supporters should it be needed in the future for some unforeseen reason.  Again, thank you to all of the members who made contributions in the past.

Well Shane, I think you should put 'Supporter' below your name. 

Thanks to Festool for continuing to grow and support the forum with financial and human resources, and this most recent contest.

Keep up the support!

I have a home-made "Sysport" that shows I was a pretty good supporter (indirectly) in 2009   -ouch!- I think my AMEX just kicked my butt from inside my wallet... disregard him...

Hello,
Just saw this and wanted to also say thank you to all those people who helped support this forum back when it was funded through a very modest personal savings account!

Over the past couple of years, I have thought many times about the generosity it took for so many people to voluntarily reach out like that.

Thanks,
Matthew

PS: I'm not sure what Shane means when he says "we want to fully absorb the costs associated with the forum just as we have done for several years now."
