Background

WindowsBBS.com keeps growing and so have been the costs of keeping this service available. WindowsBBS is run by volunteers, so we can keep the costs low, but there are server costs, bandwidth charges, and software licensing costs to be met.

To offset our costs, we show advertising on WindowsBBS.com. Some users do not like advertisements, and for those we offer a contribution option. If you are a paying contributor, you will not see any advertising when you log into your account at WindowsBBS.com.

This is a free site, and contributing is completely voluntary. All donated money will help us pay for computer hardware, the internet connection, server software, and other fees that apply directly to running the site.

So how much do you charge?

$24.95 US dollars a year¹. No, we are not going to offer a shorter term of subscription. The administrative costs involved, and the work to set up your new account, do not make it feasible to work with shorter subscription periods.

¹⁾ A two year subscription is also available (saving you 15% in the process), as well as a "lifetime" subscription for less then $60!

Q: How can I subscribe?
First, you have to be a registered user of the WindowsBBS. If you are not, first register, because you'll need your username & email address to complete the registration.
