I'm sure we're all curious. How do you propose to make this forum free without ads? Someone has to pay the bills and surely you don't expect Chris to assume all the costs and work that goes into creating this forum. He is an owner just like the rest of us. Can explain how other forums provide free service to owners? Who pays their bills?

irv2.com is full of ads. That's one of the reasons I quit using it many years ago. I was very active in the early 2000's on IRV2 and have AZ license plates IRV2 and IRVTOO to show for it.
I've never looked at the Forrest River site, but if it is sponsored by Forest River, they may provide the site as a service to their current and future customers.
I have a personal website that I started in 2001. It costs me about $150 / year and I use it primarily to share my RV mod experience with the community. I don't get any compensation for the work and expense, but operating a busy forum such as this would be a totally different level of expense and time.

I am 62 years old. Have been "camping" since I can remember. Have been using RVs since 1966. Even with all of my experiences I find new and important info here almost every day. @ $12 a year I find this forum the best bargain ever! Thank you Chris !!!! You have stepped up above and beyond what the average person would do for a bunch of strangers, even what most people would do for "friends" . I, for one, truly hope that you never become discouraged with this Herculean task you have undertaken. Personally, I would GLADLY pay double the price for the honor of belonging to a forum of such quality that gets feedback directly from the management of GDRV without being controlled by GDRV!
This is the most civil forum I have visited. Thank you also to Jim and whatever other moderators we have here that keep us on track and under control. And to ALL of the contributors, a hearty thank you! I may not always agree with comments, but I do value the input.
Disclaimer: the opinions expressed by me are not necessarily those of the owner, members, moderators, or anybody else!
Thank You

A while back Chris asked us to vote on whether or not we wanted the forum to be free and supported by advertising or paid for with a member's fee. The majority voted to have a user's fee. You still have the option to be a restricted member and not pay the fee.
If you are that unhappy with this forum's way of doing business I suggest you let your membership expire here and continue to view the iRV2 & Forest River forums that only you can view without ads or a fee.
