APC relies on donations to stay running. We got close to the target for 2020, but slipped somewhat in 2021.

We're hopeful we can hit our target in 2022.

Please consider donating to help keep APC free for everyone. Thank you!!

I haven't been keeping up on approving new registrations as well as I should have been. All accounts up to current have been approved. You may need to make an actual post somewhere in the forum to get full privileges. Not sure if here works.
