[SOC] Fwd: 2014 QSL.net System Status & Donation Request

[SOC HQ]

Dear QSL.net users,

We hope you are enjoying the services we provide, such as free Web
Hosting, Email Forwarding, Mailman Mailing Lists and DX Log Search.
You are one of over 70,000 hams taking advantage of these services!

It's been more than a year since our last system-wide email to users.
Here are two of the larger projects we've been working on during that
time:

- We are very excited to announce that we have subscribed to a
business-class spam filtering system for our QSL.net Email Forwarding
users.  The new spam filtering system has been successfully deployed
and we are already receiving a lot of positive feedback on how it has
dramatically decreasing the amount of spam being seen by our users.

- Our website, including the management system that lets you manage
your Email Forwarding and Website/FTP account, has been rewritten to
be faster and more functional.  The upgraded system includes some
changes that you can't see, but are also very important... such as
back-end management improvements for our volunteer administrators,
which will allow them to better assist you.

QSL.net is dedicated to the sole purpose of furthering the abilities
and interests of the Amateur Radio Community, with free Internet
services for hams.  QSL.net now needs to ask you for something in
return: Your financial support.

QSL.net exists solely on your donations!

In addition to the costs for the new spam filtering system, we have
on-going costs for data center bandwidth and hardware.  We also have
hundreds of hours of time involved in answering support tickets,
programming and maintaining the Self-Help and Ticket systems,
troubleshooting various web, email, mailing list and FTP issues, etc.

Would you be willing to say "Thank you" by putting something
in our Tip Jar?

You can make a donation at: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

You can donate via PayPal, Credit Card, Check or Money Order.
Your donation will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Thank you for your support!

73,
