Thank you very much Dan. 

Luckily we don't have a large operating overhead. Normally the annual costs for the hosting fee and domain names is about $400.00.  This year has been a bit more expensive though.  We had a problem with Malware getting into the forum. That  led to an additional cost on a monthly basis of $80 per month.
 Now with the long needed upgrades and fixes to the forum we have had an additional $1500.00 expense.

I want to thank everyone that has contributed to the upkeep of our community forums.
