    Folks, we made a mistake with an advertiser that we let on and thought they were a reputable company. Turns out they don't pay their bills and it was funds we counted on.

    If anyone was considering a small donation, or signing up as a $2 subscriber, it would be most appreciated at this time to cover this loss.

    By the way, if you are looking for backdrops, we have a lot of quality advertisers still here that sell them.

    Thank you folks. You will all be hearing from our supporter coordinator soon.

    We have now received enough to cover this loss and it is much appreciated!

    Thank you again.

    Charlie,

    I just reconnected to the monthly subscription pipeline.

    I am curious about the 'backdrop' vendor which 'stiffed' Trainboard. I recently clicked on one of them to see what was available and bought something from them.... Backdrop Warehouse. I hope they were not the ones... I've bought from them in the past. I would hate to continue giving my business to a vendor that fails to pay bills to Trainboard.

    Joe,

    I've answered by private message. I probably should not comment on the business name publicly, although....
