STATE OF UnioSN

should find a way to "tag" people in posts so they get a notification when they log in.

i'd tag Cooch and Flogomanbun in this post every day, every hour if that happened.

i mean, it wouldn't be abused, i'm sure.

There are 51 contributors. Some are on freebies that I've given out to people coming across some hard times. Some are those who signed up at DKs site and got a free three months. Some are veterans that were given both tags when we give out free subscriptions for that.

So we have 51 contributors and we have over 9000 members. Out of the 9000 members we have 357 at this moment that have been active in the last 24 hours. That means signed in and viewing the board. During the season it's around 600-700 and more on gameday.

Last year the site was crashing a lot heading into the season. After spending tons of time trying to figure out what was causing it I learned that it was due to the volume of users online at once. So we had to upgrade to an independent server from a group. That costs around $100 a month for the amount of bandwidth and such that we need.

When things weren't going too hot around here we invested $2500 to design and create a news site. It's been wildly a success and things are going great.

Last year we had to pay for a plateform to host the podcast. Due to the shows being so long and once a week I had to upgrade that size. Thats $25 a month. I pay $10 a month for mobile Tapatalk app. Every year we have to re-up the domain names. We have two of those. We have to pay for security protection, and things to back up the files on the server.

Lastly I spend nearly 6-8 hours daily doing things on social media, or stuff behind the scenes to keep growing this site. There is constantly maintenance on this or that. I have constant emails, or DMs because someone needs something or someone is unhappy about this poster or that poster. I have tailgates that include all you can eat and drink Stoney's for $5 if you're in Pittsburgh for a game.

I personally dedicate so much of my time and effort to this site and truth be told if I wouldn't of stepped up this site would be the ghost town it turned into back in 2015.

Lastly I'd like to thank all of our vets of the US Military and I'll try to find some type of way to honor you, but we just aren't going to be able to give you all of the function that a paid membership gets any longer. When I find some time and figure out how to do it again I'll be changing your statuses.

Oh, and in the last year I've been out of a job twice. This time is with a newborn coming/here. I still found a way (last time with the help of a few of you) and this time to keep paying the monthly payments out of my pocket to keep things normal here.

Damn bro. Trooper!
Busy bee. Congrats on the kiddo and thanks for dedicating the time to give us SN.

I do wear my SN shirt proudly around these parts
 
For the record, I double paid this year. Justin said I'd get refunded one of those but I didn't bother to ask. Just ban the doosh and this site is immediately improved

Not my fault that if I were forced out of here 99% of the board would be so upset they would bombard our glorious leaders with emails...hell they might even track them down and demand my return in person....
 
here's what Krueya has to say about that:

Our family circumstances have finally come to their inevitable conclusion and other than a couple residual obligations yet to be fulfilled, our lives are getting back to normal, so I am proud to say I can once again financially support this fine organization. I would like to thank all of our friends that supported us with their thoughts and prayers, not to mention their patience and understanding.
