Not where I really want to be
We’ve got some updates to share, and they’re both good and bad. Let’s start with the good news:

✅ TBCF is more stable and secure than ever!
Thanks to significant investments, the platform now boasts an SSL certificate for secure browsing, daily server backups for reliability, and cutting-edge software to keep us future-proof and relevant. We’ve worked hard to ensure TBCF remains efficient, offers a wide array of building code topics, and continues to grow as the go-to resource for the industry.

But, here’s the bad news:

❌ All of these upgrades, combined with increasing bandwidth demands and ongoing maintenance, have nearly tripled our monthly costs. While these improvements are essential to our mission, they do come at a price.

This is where you come in.

To keep TBCF thriving, we’re asking more members to step up and join as a Sawhorse, our valued supporters. The cost is just $49/year, which works out to a mere $4.08/month—less than the price of a cup of coffee! Your support directly helps us cover these essential costs and keeps the forum running smoothly for years to come.

Being a Sawhorse isn’t just about supporting TBCF; it comes with a host of benefits, including exclusive features and perks.

So here’s how you can help:
1️⃣ Join as a Sawhorse for just $49/year.
2️⃣ Spread the word to colleagues, friends, and anyone who values building code discussions and resources.

Together, we can keep TBCF the best place for building code professionals to connect, learn, and grow.

Thank you for being part of this incredible community. Your support makes all the difference!

What are the benefits of being a sawhorse member? I can't find a tab that shows anything related to sawhorse membership. I would think it would be a main tab off the top left menu button if it's being pushed. I don't say it to be rude, I'm the secretary for the NFBOA, and we do employment opportunities and educational opportunities for our members so anything important is fairly well accessible for our members even with an outdated website but I can't figure out how to sign up as a sawhorse menu or what that entitles you to on the main website without sending this reply to ask.
