A VFer did start the VF Roost as a a back-up/alternative to VF. That took some time, care and effort. It is free, and an ad-blocker can remove most of the ads. There have been several VFers who have generously volunteered to help Wendy with VF over the years. They have offered to be Mods and do assorted forum maintenance tasks. They offered their time and effort for free and have never been acknowledged as far as I know. Quote:

The yearly fee depends on your Supporter Level. We can't judge what amount of money a person feels able to spend on anything. .

Its much easier to donate my hard earned money to something if I think its being used for upkeep and such, rather than not knowing where its going and what its being used for. I mean Wendy doesn't even stop by once a year to say Thank you for donating to the board.

VF is ad-free for non-supporters. I've been around here for quite a long time but never paid a subscription. One of the benefits that supporters get that I don't is an avatar. I didn't subscribe in the past because when I first joined I was a starving graduate student and didn't have the extra money. Now that I'm a starving college professor, I could afford to kick in that fee but I won't if we are getting closer and closer to indeed being abandonware. It was nice that Wendy came and fixed some things recently, however, which is a good sign. Still, I don't get the sense that this forum is a priority for anyone except its members.
