Folks…just below the TB logo up top on the forum I’ve added a Donate button that will allow users to help cover hosting fees via paypal and allow TB to keep rockin. You guys know I’m not looking to profit here, only cover or at least offset a portion of the monthly hosting costs. If you donate you’ll get a fancy new title here showing you are a “Donating Member” as well as access to a new premium section.

As stated above I opened a premium section with a key level blog to add value for active members and/or members that donate. I’ll do a nightly update for use on the following days action on the YM and ES. If this gets a positive response I’ll be willing to perhaps add other liquid markets in my list as well. I’ve come up with what I feel is a fair price for the info which is $5 per month. If someone is “paying” me with good posts frequently I’ll be willing to allow that in place of monetary payment because to a site content is priceless. This is basically a way for me to give TB supporters what I think will be important levels and help offset some of the costs the site presents so donations will be appreciated either way.

This is the link…it’s also hard to miss on the main forum page as it’s in it’s own section above all other sections. Free for about a week to give a taste of what I’ll be offering and allow me some time to work out some kinks.

Also I’ve cut the chatbox off for guests and inactive members. For now “active members” will be defined as 2 posts or more, though stakes will increase as participation grows. If people don’t help TB stay open through posting good content why should they be able to reap any rewards right? I will be looking further at how I can keep the chatbox up yet still get post based participation. For now I will turn chatbox on at market open and off at market close. This way we won’t lose our chatbox which I feel is needed to share our RT market thoughts with each other. Hopefully this attempt to improve post participation works and nothing more dramatic is needed.
