Starting TODAY, the O-Gauge Forum will launch a fund-raising drive to offset our annual operating expenses. At our inception last September, we had no idea that the OGF would grow so quickly, and as a result, our operating expense have increased proportionally. Our operating expenses are now estimated to be $ 3,800.00 per year that is all hosting, maintenance and State filing fees.
The OGF is uniquely built. We are the ONLY O-Gauge forum where our members can address a wide variety of subjects without the fear of having their posts and or threads deleted because some moderator(s) or advertiser may not like truthful content. We value each member. You are important to us and we would never consider you to be some number among the masses that other forums leverage to sell advertising dollars. We are also proud to display ACCURATE numbers for our posts, threads, and membership.
Our fundraising campaign is fashioned like the Public Broadcasting System for fundraising. Keeping in mind what our annual operating expenses are, we ask that each member to consider just how much enjoyment they receive from the OGF and then contribute generously based upon their personal situation. All donations regardless of the amount are greatly welcomed.
We are creating a new classification of member in connection with this campaign. OGF members who contribute $ 100.00 or more will be designated as DIAMOND MEMBERS and this designation will be part of their forum avatar. Additionally, as a thank you, all Diamond Members will receive a 1:43 scale truck with the OGF logo.
We recognize that our OGF members are passionate about our forum and really like the current format. In order to continue with business as usual, we need your help. So many were helpful Just a short year ago that got us off the ground. We know that you will come through again.
You can process your donation very easily by going to the OGF “Shop” located in the top banner and selecting the donation option. Or if you prefer, you can mail your check to our Treasurer as follows:
