As most of you know RFGen is run and supported by volunteers. We dedicate our time and efforts to the site solely because we enjoy it. We are a non-profit organization... well actually we make negative profit, -$85 a month to be exact for the server costs. The entire year up until this past month the site has survived solely on donations. Well those funds have run dry, so now we are asking our faithful community to step up again and help support the site.
As always, 100% of donations will go to covering the server costs. Any funding for contests and prizes that we offer will be provided by the staff. Your money will go directly into supporting the operation of the site. We will continue to strive to keep the site ad-free and community funded for as long as we can, and with the generous donations of our members in the past we have been able to continue to do so. Every little bit helps, so don't worry if you can't donate as much, especially in these hard times. If you're a new donor, be sure to PM myself or one of the other staff so we can give you "donor" status on the forums.
We'll keep you posted on the status of the donation drive. We really appreciate the support the entire community has given us in the past and want to thank all of you in advance for your generous support. Without all of you, this site would not exist and be what it is today.

hanks to the suggestion of DevIancE, a new feature has been added to the "All Collections" page. It is now possible to sort the collecions by hardware and software, so that you can now view people's collections as separate hardware and software collecions.

We've finally rolled out our SQL-based collection system. The new system should be faster than the previous system and will be more friendly towards future database expansion.
A few new minor features have been added: - Hardware/Software dropdown menu - Sort by Hardware/Software in stats - View all page to view your whole collection
The first time you use the new system it may take a while to transfer your collection over. After the first page load, it should run quicker and you should be ready to go! Please post any bugs in the announcements forum. Enjoy!
