To USMF members:

 

The US Militaria Forum (USMF) is a large website whose content regarding historical items is open to all members of the public around the world. This open access, while convenient and helpful for preserving history, is not free.

 

The website is all privately owned and operated. For personal privacy and USMF security reasons, the owner of the board does not wish to release any financial information nor specific details regarding the server/hosting.

 

What should be known is that USMF is a labor of love by all moderators and administrators. It is run by private individuals who volunteer their time to perform daily tasks, including designing, building, coding, and moderating the board. There are no paid employees.

 

What about the server and other hardware issues? All hardware, such as the server, bandwidth, and storage space, are paid for with the help of donations.

 

As USMF has grown, the donation drives sadly do not net sufficient funds to cover all expenses. The option of ad banner sales were recently added to help offset some of the out-of-pocket expenses. However, despite these efforts, out-of-pocket money has been required several times to make up shortfalls.

 

Donations are always greatly appreciated but never mandated. But, if someone feels uncomfortable with donating, then they can chose to enjoy the historical content and online community free of charge.

 

We appreciate each and everyone's participation in making the USMF community the best online militaria community! Now off to more militaria talk!

 

Sincerely,

The USMF Administration
