About 250-300 USD per year. It's changing a bit as hosting costs are going up & down as things like RAM & CPUs are constrained - but the last 6 months or so the hosting is about 15 EUR per month, which is very cheap. I've moved us a few times to keep these costs under control. Software licensing for Invision is another $40 USD per 6 months. I want to get us off Invision because they're just rent seeking at this point and it's not worth it.

Our donations aren't regular but we have enough in the coffers to keep us going for another year or so. If we get off of Invision, it will be closer to 150 per year - the variable cost is hosting and with AI driving up the cost of storage, RAM, CPU etc I would expect this will be volatile for a while.

Maybe move the donations to something like Buy Me A Coffee where you could have a small monthly fee to ensure regular donations? I know you've always been keen not to take too much money and we're all grateful but it'd be only fair that it's a shared cost rather than you stumping up.

Totally agree with this, I’d be willing to donate this way.

I was definitely a transplant from TWCF once that went down, I'd imagine a few here double dipped into both forums too.

Start a UKFF Patreon where donators get exclusive shitting (right and wrong) stories, you'll earn mega bucks for the site.

To think in another timeline we’d all be celebrating 20 years of OTTER Forum

Massive Asterisk? His name is Obelix.

I have indeed been to Carbomb's house, for a job interview. One of the most massive coincidences of all time.

I've been on here a good few years, think I probably heard about it from someone in a queue for an FWA show. Flounced for a few years, don't even follow wrestling anymore.

Also shout out to @Richie Freebird and his death match thread and reviews, always a brilliant read. 

Thank you, my good man. I'm truly gratified to read that people still remember the reviews, and more importantly got some enjoyment out of them. Have a brilliant weekend my friend.

What a place this has been. Signed up at Uni in 2001 - lost my log in to my old username around 2 years ago, so created this one.

Rarely post anymore, but always read. Thank you to so many people on here for giving me 25 years of entertainment - despite never meeting any of you in real life.

Apart from that lad with that massive mucky vest that time.
