Eric,
I agree, but we have already taken far too much room for the request
for donations. However, I sent the following email to all members (see below).
I am trying to keep everything open (that is why the email with the financial
details is included in the text of that email) and supply as much information as
possible. The only members who will not receive the email are those who have, at
some previous time, opted off the CCC mailing list.

Dear CCC/CTF Member:
If you have been reading the forums in the last few days, you are aware of
the current situation with the future of CCC/CTF.

To summarize, it has become necessary, because of the retail degradation of
the chess software and dedicated chess computer market, that CCC/CTF
members be asked to contribute toward the expenses incurred in
administering the forums.

Please give whatever you can to help keep CCC and CTF alive and well. I
have set up a place on our web site for contributions:
http://www.icdchess.com/cgi-bin/store.cgi?category=DO   -   The order form
is fully secure.

There you may pay by any major credit card, PayPal, or at the bottom of the
order form there are instructions and our mailing address for sending a
donation via snail mail. If you are outside the U.S. and are choosing the
snail mail option, please send either a check in dollars drawn on an
American bank or an International Money Order in American dollars (our bank
charges us $25 to cash foreign checks and money orders).

The three posts that express the situation may be found at:

I really appreciate your support.
