I suppose everyone got a PM asking for support? Proboards: We need your supportI'm always inclined to support things I regard as valuable to me and this board and its contributors have certainly been that. Any thoughts?

I'm torn.
On the one hand I agree with Ratty - this is a good community and deserves support.
On the other hand I look at the things ProBoards puts up and I'm confident they'll de-platform this board as soon as anyone complains about the "conspiracy theories" being discussed here. Perhaps I'm reading them wrong, but if not then I'm certainly not giving them money.

If you add and the <expletive deleted> do not give us any support either.... Then the plug will be pulled faster than if "but we got $lots from them in support..." Justathought

I'll help out. Somebody needs to tell me what to do as "my Democrats" are out of the office. Marta tells me what to do but that doesn't count. The Board has been sending me popup images of a weird black guy asking me to turn off my ad blocker. I would do this too, except I need to figure out how to access it and "command it" to exclude ONLY this one site ... as I remember what it was like before I had it. Other sites scream at me for having it too. Addressing Gridley's understandable but "paranoid" concern , perhaps we could address a correspondence to the board requesting their "word of honor" (I know, I know) that they will not oust us on the demands of the Communists. So ... what would be fair, and what's the best way of doing it?

Any new thoughts on helping out our favorite site? And getting Code re-instated? Or any new people that want to join? Response to local admin request?

You gonna bag him for us Walnut? I'm not a real ham. I can access area repeaters up to maybe 30 miles away with my Baofeng handheld and aftermarket antenna, and if Kevin happened to be on any of those repeater frequencies we'd have a tiny chance to make contact. But he monitors those bigger wavelengths, I use UHF mainly to worm my signal through the buildings to the repeaters.
