Dear dailymuscle.com readers,

This plan has been in my roadmap ever since the beginning - and I’m glad that it will soon come to pass. I believe that the time is right for me to finally kick this off. I am going to start The dailymuscle.com Forums. It’s been a little over 2 years now that dailymuscle.com has stirred our thoughts and impacted lives in the health and wellness scene, and it’s only about to get better.

The dailymuscle.com Forums will be a living, online community for all of us, and a place that we can all call our very own. You’ll be able to register your own unique profile, become an active contributor, network with other similar minded individuals, and have the chance to share your opinions and speak into the lives of others in a far more effective way than ever possible with a blog.

The dailymuscle.com Forums will COMPLEMENT the dailymuscle.com Blog.

The total cost for implementing the Forums is $309 (thats US Dollars), and I am willing to spend money if it’s going to benefit everyone.

How did I arrive at $309?
I only want the best for this online community, so I will be purchasing:

1. vBulletin® - Instant Community Software (Owned License) - $160
See https://www.vbulletin.com/order/ for details.

2. vBSEO Search Engine Optimization Plug In - $149
See https://www.vbseo.com/purchase/buy-vbseo.html for details.

TOTAL COST = $309

How You Can Help
The ChipIn service (see below) is an easy way to collect money online and will allow you to donate ANY AMOUNT (even if it’s just a dollar - you’ll still make me smile).

How to Contribute!
Click on the Chip In button above and you will be taken to the PayPal payment page. At PayPal, you can choose to pay via your PayPal Funds or using any credit card.

I have set this Fund Raising event to end on the 31st of October, giving us a little over 1 month to raise the $309 required.

Item 2 will be good to have - but if the goal of $309 is not met, I will still be able to get the Forums running with $160 which covers the license for the Forums Software.

As my appreciation to your contributions, I will list out all the contributors with a link to their websites, and to kick things off and to show you my commitment - I have just contributed $30.90 myself - which 10% of the total cost. You guys do the rest…

trey: You can use paypal, which allows you to use your credit card. That’s the easiest… if you’d like to wire via maybank.. well, that’s okay too. Drop me an email at author@dailymuscle.com to confirm that you’d like to make a contribution. No amount is too small :)

gennnniiikk: Gdnite to you too.

Hi DM,

seems like we’re all waiting for the forum to be up to allow more interactive discussions. Are you still going for commercial used vbulletin?

I’ve been using punBB for quite sometime, hence it’s free.. but the drawback is lack of features. I’ve setup the forum in http://www.indocg.com. Just checking if you’re interested. Another opt would be goin for phpbb, but it’s too popular that it’s easily get spammed as well.
