We want to thank the many folks who help make this site possible, from the volunteers, moderators and the participants helping in the forums. We do have a lot of readers and a steady flow of new folks.


But this is about the very special folks who get an extra big thanks from all of us. These folks have dipped into their pockets and, after sorting out a few nuts, bolts and string, have tossed some cash our way to help us pay for the necessary things we need to keep this site going (the hosting fee is the biggie).


So here we go:

Jeff "Rusty Rod" Backus gave the last donation for 2025 and naturally the FIRST donation for 2026.
Rusty has been around with us a long time and has been super helpful to move around in the forums to places we need. He currently helps moderate in the Welcome Centre, the Electrical Bay, Name that Part, Panels and Burbs, the Whole Wild West Coast, and just recently added the International Zone after he moved to Japan.


Thanks to all who help support Stovebolt
