Folks
We are alive, for the time being.
I paid two months of the server on a credit card.
I am moving us as quickly as possible to a more "right sized server".
So if we go dark, that is why.

Not sure about our future. Our sponsors are wonderful but there just isn't enough of them to sustain, and
I cannot rack up any more credit card debt.

I will kindly ask again, if the OLF brings you value, please consider contributing monthly via Patreon.
A sustainable revenue source will be needed if we are to continue.

Thanks ALL!

Lance--

I had been a Patreon subscriber for a number of years. When the OLF went dark, and there weren't any indications of when it would be up again, I stopped the Patreon subscription. I have now restarted it.

Same. I'll be re-subscribing this afternoon!

Lance, thank you for all you've done to keep this site alive, warts and all, for the past 20+ years.

I'll be happy to support the OLF financially - when Lance SELLS it to someone I can trust.
