As Rod mentioned, we're moving everything to a new platform and replacing
all of our servers with seven new ones. The overall investment in new
hardware is over $10,000 and that's doing it as economically as possible.


The target for completion is the first of the new year. If you'd like to
contribute to the cause—as the list of contributors below did just
recently—it will be much appreciated.


The Bored would like to take a moment to say thanks to the folks who
most recently subscribed, upgraded or renewed their memberships.
They are listed below.

Also, we hope you will indulge us as we take this opportunity to
shamelessly promote the on-going membership campaign:

* * * * * * * * * * * *
As most of you already know, we would not ask you to part with hard-
earned $$$ and not generously reward your loyalty to the cause.
Membership has immediate and concrete benefits .

Please take a moment to see the gifts available at various contribution
levels. Thank you.

* * * * * * * * * * * *

And now, please join us in thanking the following
generous inmates for their support:

...you could have included my humble self and possibly a few more pensioners.

If you were to come up with some sort of "closed ward" in which only contributors of a substantial sum could participate, I would be all in.

That should mean no posts that are anything other than audio; namely no cars; pictures or mention of such - ferrari or otherwise, no body-parts - toes or toe-nails come to mind, and yes - no offense waxxy: no scantily clad women no matter what their "accessories"are - let them view but: not be able to post.

I feel strongly that participating in a forum that provides much without asking for much warrants at least a modest contribution - Audioasylum is not ebay after all.

Lately it has gotten out of hand with cross-topic posting all over the place, maybe that is just my opinion.

Hi Palmer,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. As you can imagine, we get opinions that run the gamut from why not let us have a free-for-all—after all, we're adults and we can manage ourselves—to let's keep things strictly business.

It's a tough act to balance. Still, we will pass your comments along to the moderating team for review.

No worries. We post periodic updates / thank yous whenever we have a batch of new / renewing inmates.

Thanks for thinking about supporting the Asylum.
