Let me explain.
I had 24 Sawhorses payment accounts in PayPal that were from the old system (pre-April 2016), and I had begged people to cancel and create a new payment. I begged and posted threads for 6 years asking people to please cancel their old payments from the old website. Apparently, 24 of you still did not 8 years later. This caused a problem and has been causing a problem for the past 8 years, and I've had enough, especially when it affected those who are paying under the new system for the past 8 years. So, I just canceled out the $840 in revenue TBCF needs to operate. Paypal was trying to reconcile the old payments with the new system and it won't work so eventually PayPal shuts down the notifications and those with the right payment don't get credit and I have to put it in manually. Those days are over. We are minus some funds, but everyone in the system since April 2017 are good to go now. No more old payment faults.
In addition, I canceled out 96 more member payments in PayPal that were delinquent which comes to another $3,840 in lost revenue over the past 3 years.
Looking at the numbers, we lost over 316 Sawhorses over the years and are now down to about 80-ish at this time.
Therefore, If you know anyone who is interested in joining this site and becoming a Sawhorse, please spread the word.
I reduced the amount of google banners to Sawhorses the best I could but that was not enough to get some people to join who stated that was the reason they did not join. Reducing banners to regular use Sawhorses cost us money in lost revenue so I don't know that it was worth doing.
Finally, some of you asked for group rates to which I created those rates and none of you have taken me up on what you asked for and I provided. Please consider helping us out.
If this goes back to when I was financing this forum by myself with supplemental income from Sawhorses, I don't know what I will do.
I just renewed the software license and have a very heavy lift with some mandatory changes and have to use the IT company again which will not be cheap.
