Hi everybody,

due to repeated requests and more appropriately due to the poor performance of
ads in general when it comes to refinancing the costs for hosting and
maintenance, I have taken the decision to drop ads from LUGNET altogether.

Most of the removal should be complete by now - if you hit pages where I missed
to remove the ads display code, please reply to this thread or drop me an email
and I shall do the needful.

My plan is to keep LUGNET alive for everybody who still enjoys to visit this
place for reference or just for a glimpse of what was once the go-to location
for enthusiasts of the brick-building hobby.

As resources (and I'm not counting the time I'm throwing in myself) do not come
cheap and many have offered to do so, I will be grateful for donations sent to
paypal@lugnet.com. No obligations - I'm grateful for anything and I'm just as
grateful if you just come by every now and then and still enjoy the site.

Happy bricking,

Jerry

(...) This is great news! :D Also, thanks for including the email address for the PayPal fundraiser, as the page that opens on PayPal from the link doesn't load. David Gregory member #590 (2 weeks ago, 11-Jun-26, to lugnet.admin.general)
