Anyway, the SRG repeater covers eastern Washington from the cascade crest to the Montana state line as well as southern British Columbia. It's an amazing system. No irlp or echolink so you can't get in if you're out of the area.]]></description>

			<link>https://www.alpharomeo15.org/Thread-New-Subscription-Module-Added-to-the-Forum</link>

			<guid isPermaLink="false">https://www.alpharomeo15.org/Thread-New-Subscription-Module-Added-to-the-Forum</guid>
			<description><![CDATA[Hi guys!  I finished adding a new subscription module to the forums!  The original one was not working properly!  This one should be much better...it accepts Paypal but you can PM me for an address if you prefer to snail mail a check!  <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Subscriptions are completely optional</span> and only give you some extra "Perks" such as more PM storage and extra image upload space.  You also get access to a VIP Lounge forum and a fancy group badge for your post profiles!  The main forum features will always be free to everyone!  <br />
<br />
All donations made go directly to the server cost and domain fees.  We save expense by running the top open source forum software but the server fees are very costly in order to maintain 99.9999 % uptime as well as remote backups, current hardware and software plus 24/7 customer support from the data center! <br />
<br />
I appreciate all donations...every little bit helps to lessen the out of pocket costs and ensures that we can continue having a top notch site to hang out at!  Here is the Subscription Page link if you would like to browse the selection of subscription packages!<br />
<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Sorry guys!  I was working on the Donation system in an FTP program and accidentally wiped out a few recent posts!  It was completely my fault and not anything to do with the forum software!  I simply clicked the wrong button!  Luckily, I have our server set to automatically load remote backups every morning so I just had to revert back to this morning's backup file and in the process, we lost a few recent posts!  <br />
<br />
If you notice anything that you may have posted this afternoon missing, please do a repost if you wish!  It looks like it was only several posts that are gone.<br />
