2025 Forum Funding Appeal – Help Keep FMM Alive
Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2025 11:06 am
Hi everyone,
It’s that time of year again when I ask for your support to help keep this forum running.
While traffic has dropped compared to a few years ago, the forum is still actively used and remains an important resource for Marina and Ital owners.
Unlike Facebook, the forum offers properly searchable information, detailed technical advice, project documentation, and a real archive of knowledge that doesn't disappear into the void of social media posts.
I'm not planning to shut it down or move into full archive mode — people still use it, and it still serves a valuable purpose.
However, keeping the site online isn't free. Last year, although I received some fantastic support, I still had to personally subsidise a significant shortfall. Realistically, this isn’t something I can continue to do indefinitely without your help.
As ever, the forum is entirely funded by your contributions.
If you'd like to help keep it running, you can make a donation via PayPal or Buy Me a Coffee. You can also support by purchasing a T-shirt or mug from my website:

Every donation — no matter how small — helps to share the load and ensure this brilliant archive and community stays alive for the future.
Thank you for your continued support.
