I would also
Like to see this stay open thru the bankruptcy and would be willing to chip in if not too expensive...otherwise a facebook group could work if more would like that...I need the info and support thru the bankruptcy at the least.
Thank you for all you have done and contributed thus far Vern

I would really hate to see this group go away. It has been helpful on so many levels. I would prefer not, however, to go to Facebook. I would be more than happy to pay to keep it going.

I agree to keep this site up if possible, if not then a Facebook page.

Thanks

Prefer this site over Facebook due to the ease of tracking conversations and FB has no control over posts. If not enough interest though I would sign up on a FB group.

I would help with the fees because as another poster stated we get no info from Avaya.

Really much easier if you just tell us how we can help with the costs and howmuch you need. I am willing to contribute.

I enjoy the site even at low traffic. I think it will be pretty active for quite some time after the bankruptcy is completed as things get sorted out.

VERN,
SUGGEST AN AMOUNT AND A WAY FOR US TO HELP FUND THE SITE.
IT HAS BEEN AND PROBABLY WILL STILL BE VALUABLE TO MANY OF US.

THANKS FOR SETTING IT UP.

Hey everyone. Thanks for the many emails as well as the posts.

FYI, Vern is a user of the site and not the Administrator.

The site costs me about $60 per year for the DNS registration and the hosting.

I donate all my time when it comes to programming, maintaining and everything else associated with it. If I had to pay someone to do it then there is no way I could justify it.

Maybe I will setup a PayPal donate page that people can go to if they want to contribute a few bucks.

Some people have suggested that people pay a yearly membership fee to access the site. I could do that but I would rather keep it free for everyone.

I would like to keep this site active and I am willing to contribute to it's funding.

When at the end of Jan I got a letter saying part of my pension was stopping I could not find anyone in Avaya with any info and posted here to see if anyone else was in the same situation and the very useful forum started. This has been very helpful for myself and others to be able to reach out to the larger community to keep current.

Paypal sounds like a good idea , I have an account from Ebay, just let us know the address to send it.
