I've wondered how this forum is financed. Is it all Mr. Cotton? Is there any method for forum members to contribute to covering the costs?

Mr. Cotton has always been committed to providing this discussion forum for Texas CHL and firearms topics as a free resource to the public, and he has also previously stated his commitment keeping these forums advertising-free.

I've previously written Mr. Cotton to suggest that other forums like Cast Boolits will hold an annual fundraiser where contributions get various "supporter" logos that display near the username/avatar. Something like:

The above are sold for $10, $20, and $40 per year, respectively.

Now that he has retired, he has provided a page over on TexasFirearmsCoalition.com for people to provide various support/donor levels. That is found here: https://www.texasfirearmscoalition.com/ ... upport-tfc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I am currently donating $50 per month, as indicated in my signature line. I'd encourage anyone else to contribute as well.
