UKweatherworld is solely funded by Frouks (friends of UKweatherwworld) and Csouks (commercial sponsors of UKww)

Without that funding, UKww wouldn't be the forum it is now, with keen amateurs and professional meteorologists discussing all aspects of the weather.

Becoming a UKww Frouk for as little as £10 gives you a custom rank in your UKww profile, access to a private forum area where anything goes (and it usually does!), and satisfaction that your helping with the high running costs of the UK's leading weather forum. What is a FROUK? It stands for FRiend Of UKweatherworld.

We greatly appreciate your help in supporting the site and its development. As the site isn't a commercial one but one aimed at the weather community and is funded entirely by the existing Frouk's and Executive.

Your contribution will help provide a more stable platform for UKww in future and ensure that we can continue to develop it for the benefit of members and other users.

Money contributed will go towards- site development, forum upgrades, so offering a faster and more reliable service with more storage capacity; helping us accommodate growing numbers of users to the site and ensure all get a good service from it; ensure we can continue to add new innovations and services to the site (you'll be the first to know about new things and trial them).

UKww FROUK benefits

• Always first to hear of any updates and improvements to the site.
• Free competitions with prizes.
• Your own FROUKS forum to discuss anything you like with all the other FROUKS members (not just weather related) as well as ideas for developing UKww with the Managers and Executive.

• A custom rank "Frouk" to let everyone know that your one of the elite UKww members.
• Discounts for meteorological services and purchasing at other related shops if you are a 'FROUK'.

It's been a while since this thread came to the top of the pile, but it is just as relevant now as it was then. UKww does rely advertising and donations to stay afloat. Advertising probably brings in about 2/3rds of our running costs and donations, through FROUks the remainder. Since we moved over to this board our monthly running costs have increased as we are using more bandwidth, our membership has also increased as has activity on the forum, just yesterday we set a new record for online users !
Our grateful thanks to all advertisers and especially to our FROUks who have allowed the forum to develop to this stage, but we would love a few more . If you feel able to support UKww in a financial way please follow the link above to donate via google or to send me a cheque ( I am the treasurer and the money does go to UKww, not that Carribean holiday I've been dreaming about ) or if you would like to donate using internet bank transfer please PM me for account details. Don't forget you have to enable PM's from your control panel.
Once again, many thanks to all our supporters and I hope a few more members will join them.
Cheers,
Paul D

Thanks to all those who have responded so far...we could still do with a few more ! Unfortunately with google payments I only get confirmation with a google "nickname", I need a bit of help...could Exiletone, Ianroy 63 and sdidcock just let me know what their names/nkicknames on UKww are, PM's would be great.
Many thanks,
Paul D

BUMP....would the owners of these names like to own up PM would be great.
Thanks,
