Could this be the last year for AFC site?

server cost is not an issue, We are not on one of those "free" servers but yearly cost is still low ($150.00). I spend more than that every week on my "bad habits"

while the scam posts have decreased lately, the site still need maintenance and updating (we are behind now). Currently I am afraid if I update we will lose our forum "style" and end up back on default phpbb style.

when I took over AFC, I knew nothing about running a server or phpbb.
cleverwise was and still is my main technical support here. example when we lost certificate couple months ago. cleverwise fixed the issue, I had no idea what to do.

If you guys really want to give a donation you could give it to cleverwise's donation page cleverwise created our download pages and last 5 posts widget on main page just for AFC.

without cleverwise support AFC would have closed many years ago.

I'm not much into PHP coding and stuff, but when you need help in that part, we could have a look together.

It is absolutely awesome what support he gave. I remember when he first showed up and offered to build a whole new site, we all were in fear what might happen to the forums. Already then you were lost on some upgrade issues. Thanks alot to him!

I am sorry to hear that you have lost your passion, but after so many years at the helm it was bound to happen. Life and priorities change and we need to follow what it is that makes life worth living.

I have been absent for some time as I am now with Keen Software House managing their 44 public servers and have very little time left.

Growing up, I was always the geeky, uncool Trekkie, but this forum gave me somewhere that I felt welcome, so from the bottom of my heart I say thank you to everyone on here.
