How you can help us without spending a dime
You don't have to spend any money to help rc.com get better.
There are a number of things that we could greatly use, that don't cost a dime:- [user]eric[/user] could greatly benefit from access to a couple of computers with large screens, side-by-side, to update the forums' look-and-feel. If you're in the Bay Area and work at a design studio, for example, this would be a huge help in the redesign.
- If you've upgraded to a more modern computer, and have some sticks of PC133 ECC SDRAM memory lying around, we can ALWAYS use more RAM! Eventually we'd like to build out a second webserver and split our load 3 ways. If you have any 1GB sticks that are lying around collecting dust, we can put them to good use. Send [user]tim[/user] a PM (private message) if you'd like to do this.
- Filing bug reports when you hit a problem is a great way to make us aware of them. Sometimes we already know about them, and sometimes they take a while to fix (none of us make a living off of this site), but if you are seeing a problem, chances are you're not alone. Your feedback is always appreciated.
- Join your local advocacy organization (the Southeastern Climbers' Coalition, Friends of Yosemite, Mazamas -- whoever represents your interests, on the ground, in the courts, in your local area!) and pay your Access Fund dues ! This site is something you use to kill time between cragging, right? Maybe find a partner for a trip? There's no point to it if your favorite climbing area gets shut down. Stand up and be counted. And then get your local organization in touch with us, so that we can better understand how to represent their interests online.
