How does Railfan.net Sponsorship support these interests?
Railfan.net was started to allow preservationists and hobbyists to enjoy free
of charge webspace. Many of the railroad related websites on the internet were
severely crippled by a lack of web storage space or by extemely poor webserver
performance. As an ISP, we recognized this and thought that our tremendous
excess capacity could be the answer to a lot of prayers. It was the answer for
a lot of people, far beyond our expectations. Late in 1998 it became apparent
that Railfan.net's resource consumption had eclipsed that of our ISP business!
Some of the sites which Railfan.net sponsors have become incredibly popular
and consume prodigious amounts of data storage and internet bandwidth.
We've talked with a lot of people about how to raise the revenue to keep doing
what we've done so well thus far and the only practical solution is to solicit
individual and commercial sponsorship from people like you! We don't want to
jam obnoxious and off-topic banner ads and popups in your face all the time
and we just won't be reduced to doing that.
That's where you come in. Help us to support the Rail Enthusiast Community
with a donation which will assist us in covering the considerable expenses
involved in providing Railfan.net's services.
