How to help ADR Support get even better

[djscal]

Friends,

Over the next couple of months www.adrsupport.org will be moving to a new
internet hosting service that will enhance the user experience as well as
provide a more robust and reliable platform for our forum. The transition
will be as seamless to the user community as possible and the downtime will be
minimized. There will be more information posted when we get closer to the
transition.

One of the goals of ADR Support is to provide free information to spine
patient sufferers around the globe. ADR Support is a completely non-profit
organization. The founder and administrator Rich Longland, has spent
countless hours of his time and has spent his own money to keep the website
and forum running. Due to the costs associated with the rehost, and the
higher monthly fees to pay for the premium service I am asking for some
small donations from some of the members that have the means to donate.
Participation in this request is completely optional and no one should feel
as if they are under any pressure to donate. For information on how to
donate to ADR Support, please go to this webpage. Click here to donate

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Schwartz

Thank you for all that this group has done for me. It is nice to go somewhere to look up information where it is so hard to find elsewhere. Keep up the great work. My support has been sent.

Rich: this forum has helped many, many people including myself. Thank you.

Dan: you're awesome. Thanks for all of your help with the move to a new platform.

I urge everyone to donate what they can to this worthy cause--this is coming from a poor student that just sent a donation.

Thank you all very, very much! And thanks to all of you for having the patience of Job too. The site problems were enough to drive anyone loco!

I am scheduling the migration to Groupee (the application provider and new hoster) for next week; I'll email all of you with the details.

Stay tuned...
