"We have a generational problem too. FR really is literally dying out and no fresh blood is coming in because of that lack of profile and the very aged clunkiness of the site itself."

This is an absolute truth. How can we make it better? Will the new owners listen? Jim was adamant publicly and privately for decades that he would not change a thing.

Now FR needs $20+k/month. All from donations. $360k/year is what the homepage says here.

Unfortunately, the old page that listed the breakdown of costs returns a 404 error

The math does not add up. The homepage has not been updated in many, many years. It says you can still call and leave a message to Jim at (559) 273-1400. According to the homepage.

I hope the boys don't just sit and ride the wave of what their father built. I don't know them and will not judge. I will say that $20-30k/month is a nice cushion.
