Consider becoming a patron

[TerryRitchie]

Honestly I am not into subscription stuff, always regretted every magazine, club... you start paying money and circumstances change and it's not so easy to back out after such a commitment.

So provide an address and a money order will have to do from me. I like to vote my approval or disapproval of what is going on with forum with money support. BTW I like to think forum participation is best sort of support

You bring up an interesting point about what happens should something happen to Steve. When subscriptions are involved like with Patreon I'd like to know what would happen then because of the thing that happened when Fellippe turned things over to unknown guy. For me to even consider Patreon subsciption I need to know what/who has been setup in some detail.

I have been donating to QB64 through Patreon for at least 5 years now, maybe longer (even during those two years I was away). When the changeover happened it was very easy to go into Patreon and stop the monthly donations. When Steve created a Patreon link I simply started again. Patreon has none of the "dark" features when it comes to try and stop a donation or change information. It's very straightforward. You can do a one time donation too if monthly donations are not your thing.

Like Steve said, the site will go on with or without donations, but if you're someone like me that uses the site daily and gets enjoyment from QB64PE I believe a small monthly donation is a great way to to say "Thanks" and at the same time support a great project.

I've hosted sites in the past and they can get expensive. Google Sites was sold to SquareSpace so once again I'm looking at that monthly payment soon for the QB64 Tutorial. I view the tutorial as another way of giving back to the QB64 community so I keep it free (as in ad free, Google pestered me weekly to put ads on the site) for everyone's enjoyment.
