Consider making a contribution to maintain the forum and keep adverts here free?

[Marco]

Guys, if you haven't already done so, those of you who use our (currently free of charge) services in this section of the forum may wish to consider making a small donation towards the [ever-increasing] running costs of the site, which will help enable us to keep these services free for all members in future.

Should you wish to make such a contribution, please see here for details: https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?61282-You-can-now-Contribute-to-Support-The-Art-of-Sound&p=1032554#post1032554

Many thanks!:)

Thanks to all who have contributed so far - drinks on me guys, at the next hi-fi show!:cool:

Another fantastic response today, chaps! I'm humbled by your generosity and willingness to support our community - thanks again:cool:

Marco.

[Marco]

Btw, someone's just pointed out to me that using these facilities means buyers as well as sellers, so in essence if you park your arse here rather often (one way or the other), and are the box-swapping type who's gained a lot from using the classifieds section here, for years for FREE, you might choose to show your appreciation a little, if indeed you haven't done so already:D;)

Just sayin'!

Marco.

[Marco]

Thanks to all for your very generous donations and support of our community.

We've been rather humbled by your response, and shall continue to maintain the experience you enjoy from visiting AoS, and with your support and feedback strive to continue to improve that experience, and above all maintain the friendly and informative vibe that AoS is renowned for:cool:

Marco.

[Marco]

Again many thanks to all who have contributed recently:)

Marco.

[Marco]

Again, many thanks folks for your generosity, and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all :christmas:

Have a nice one, dudes!:cool:

Marco.

[Marco]

Just to remind folks that if you wish to make a donation and remain anonymous, and also not be given an 'AoS Supporter' badge, that's fine. Just let me know:)

Marco.

[Marco]

Oh, and not forgetting also that all supporting members with over 1000 posts will, on request, receive an extended PM message allowance of 500 PMs. So folks, if you quality and would like that upgrade, just ask!:cool:

Marco.

[Marco]

Just a 'heads up', folks, in case any of you who'd like to contribute missed the chance before Xmas, when others were so generous. All donations to site running costs are welcome, no matter how small. Cheers, guys (and gals)!:cool:

Marco.

[Marco]

Guys, when making donations please PM me afterwards to confirm, just to make sure it's went through and that you receive your Supporters badge. Cheers!:cool:

Hi folks,

If you were unaware of us recently being hacked, via an 'SQL Injection', then please see where this matter has been discussed: https://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?66631-Hacked&p=1138354#post1138354

The company we've used to install the Firewall are experts in their field, so we're confident that its installation will be effective in preventing such a situation from reoccurring.

Basically, it puts a layer of protection between our site and any hackers, and looks out for hackers trying to break into the site and stops them. In particular it stops hackers trying to exploit known vulnerabilities in websites, which in turn could compromise your stored personal data, if your passwords here are not strong enough, as that's often their way in!

Therefore, I'd like to take this opportunity to ask you all to strengthen your passwords and/or change them completely, in order to make it much harder for hackers to infiltrate the site and compromise yours (and our) data.

As mentioned, we've had to pay (a significant sum), which is over and above our projected annual running costs, in order to employ the services of the company in question, therefore if any of you are able to make a donation to those costs, however small, and help protect both you and the site in future, it will be very gratefully received.

To do so, please click the 'Contribute' tab, at the top of the homepage, and follow the subsequent instructions. Many thanks!:cool:

Marco.

Once again folks, thanks for your contributions, which have been much appreciated, in order to help offset the ever-growing costs of running the site.

Later this month, the annual site hosting fee (maintenance of the server, etc) is due for renewal, at the cost of £440, so anything you can afford to chip in would be very gratefully received! Many thanks:cool:

Marco.
