Would you like to remove the Google Ads from OrchidBoard posts? Now you can ! Instead of a DONATE button, like on every other forum, we've decided that it would be much better and cooler to actually give loyal forum supporters something in return.
OrchidBoard is and always will be free, however running OrchidBoard costs money, especially now that we've moved to a dedicated server.
Thus far OB has mainly been funded from my own pocket and supplemented with some sponsored advertising and google ads. Hosting costs will now put a major dent in my budget and annual OB related expenses are now measured in thousands and not hundreds.
