After several years of requests and the reality that it costs money to operate this forum, the Pond Boss team is proud to announce the Donate Tab. Look in the upper right hand corner. As long as I'm alive, this forum will be free. At the same time, we understand that you folks gain information that you might not otherwise be able to get. And, this information is valuable to you...especially when it saves $$$. So, we graciously offer the opportunity for you to help offset the costs of the forum. We've got a number of cool changes on the horizon. Soon, we'll offer much more free content and some "e-books" and "e-articles" that you can't find anywhere on the internet. Thanks for being on the team...we appreciate each and everyone of you. Oh, and we have received a large number of requests to be Field Correspondents and Ambassadors. I am personally working on that program and will announce it soon. Fish on! Bob Lusk Editor, Pond Boss magazine

that's awesome, Mr Lusk. Looks great.
Trying to help with 7.5 Acres in the Chain of Lakes Illinois - - The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut. Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.

Donation made, good work Pond Boss! PB has saved me literally thousands of dollars in mistakes, thousands of hours of researching the web for inferior advice, and helped create many friendships I hope to continue to build for many years to come. Frankly, a donation is the least I can do in an effort to thank the Pond Boss family.

Tab used as well.
Something to consider, other forums that I belong to have the option (moderator only can place it) of having a star or other symbol next to a members name that donates, and it is there for a year from when the donation is made.

Small donation sent - wish it could be more but...maybe I can add a little more later.
Thanks, Bob, for all you do!
If you're too scared to throw that bait where the fish are, why did you tie it on?

The nice thing about a donation tab is you dont have to give one big amount you if you can't, you can always give something later when you can.
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Yep, I wasn't able to donate as much as I think PB deserves (who can?), but I did what I felt comfortable right now and will continue to drop a little in the bucket on occasion from here on out.

To Bob Lusk, Bob I can tell from your first post you struggled with doing this. As we all here know your heart is in the right place and you would just as soon give your shirt off your back than take money from someone to help you out. It's ok we asked for it and you are allowing us to give back in our own small way. So don't feel bad it's ok! Thanks for having such a great forum and magazine! And thanks to all the moderators that make this site work every day!

My pittance will be on the way shortly but by check (is cheque still used?) instead of via the donation tab. I'll make it out to Pond Boss and note it as Forum Donation. Hope this doesn't screw everything up (or should it be screw up everything?).

OUTSTANDING!
I just sent in my donation. Folks don't apologize for the size of the donation made. In this brutal economy I am sure that any donation is greatly appreciated.
Bob asked our opinion, we voiced our opinion, Bob acted on our opinion. How much better can this forum get when the owner of the forum is responsive to our feedback!
I have now become a proud supporter of the Pond Boss forums. Thank you Bob!

Hope this doesn't screw everything up (or should it be screw up everything?). Same here too. I try not to use the CC unless it's a crisis.

Yeah, multiple identities need to give for each handle.

I'm not sure if mine went thru or not. I hit "review donation and continue" and all went blank. I guess i'll have to wait for the statement and see if it's there.

Don't worry, Mardi.
There are donors who chose to remain covert.
Public or not, all donations are appreciated and will be recognized.
