Corey Chapman, YaBB Project Leader & Owner of XIMinc, has posted a call for help from YaBB users and supporters... YaBB and XIMinc Need Help!.  Here is the reprint of Corey's post:

YaBB is a free, open-source project.  This means the various domain registrations and website hosting are donated.  Unfortunately, during these poor economic times, the "bills" have not been getting paid for several months.

But you can help!  All it will take is several people to host their websites and/or register their domains with YaBB's sponsor, XIMinc.  We've made this easy by offering 8 hosting plans from only $4.95 per month to $40.95 per month for corporations.  See http://ximinc.com/.

You can also advertise your website on YaBB's site or forum.  This ranges from only $400 per year to $800 per year. With the 40,000,000+ hits and 75,000+ unique visitors the site receives each month, you're sure to see a return on that small investment.  See http://www.yabbforum.com/advertise.php.

Corey Chapman, YaBB Project Leader & Owner of XIMinc, has announced additional language packs for YaBB 2.3.x and a call out to people that would like to help develop even more language packs.  Here is the reprint of Corey's announcement:
