but not limited to, Domain Name registration fees, Linode server account fees, vBulletin license fees, etc. We had nothing to offer members who stepped up and purchased a Paid Subscription other than our gratitude, heartfelt thanks, and custom usernames and badges identifying them as KFN financial supporters.<br /> <br /> Fast forward to 2024.
