A personal situation has caused me to basically go bankrupt temporarily, and hasn't left me with much time to shore up the finances of EMTBravo since the last financial crisis.
So, we're again reaching out to our members for support. If you would like to keep EMTBravo online, please donate what you can. Visit http://www.emtbravo.com/ for details.
We really appreciate our members generosity. Especially those who are always the first to open there wallets whenever I have trouble.....seems like many people just freeload off of these core group of dedicated EMTBravo staff and members. Our total costs per month are in the $300-400/month range, and we usually can just scrape by. Things were going well and the financial health of the site was improving, until a personal situation caused some turbulence in my life that drained my of all my personal funds that I had to cover the deficit, as well as time to manage the advertising program properly.
In the coming months, we'll be opening our forums to small ads on the top and bottom, to open a new stream of revenue. We're also going to start billing advertisers on a regular, monthly basis, and if they don't pay, there will be no grace period. We'll also keep the donation portal open, even though it humiliates me to have to keep asking for money, but I want to keep the site online. And finally, we're going to start renting space on our server for other websites.
Please note, ALL donations go towards the EMTBravo server costs....because if I can't make the payment next week, then we go bankrupt and the server gets shut down.
On another note, over the next several months, we'll also be redesigning the site to tie everything in better. Our infastructure is continuing to grow, and our new staff is doing a great job with the forums. EMTBravo will be reinvented for the better, and we can't wait to show you!
