Self Reliant Diver--On All Dives.
I agree that people that come here should be made aware of the fact that being a supporter of the site helps to keep it running. I have no problem at all with little pushes or posts to make that happen. However I believe the OP could have done it with a bit more grace. It comes off as shaming people.
Now before anyone comments, I came here and found a wealth of knowledge. I lurked for a long time and then decided to join the site. I met friends, openly discussed a disease that was sure to kill me (but didn't) and ask for support and help from the members here. Met a very close friend who I consider to be family here and has done more to help me realize my dream than anyone as done for me before (thanks @RainPilot ) I decided to be a supporter here because I loved the place. Then I got sick, got better-ish and got a job in the scuba industry. Now I don't make enough to support the site as my money goes towards living and dive gear.
However should that financial situation change, I would gladly go back to supporting this site. I would do it because I truly want to and not because of a 'heavy-handed, hit me over the head and shame me' style post.
A big thank you to @The Chairman for this site and giving us weirdos a place to share information, learn and even sometimes vent.

I concur on the weirdo point.
How do I set my title?

I see you've met Frank.
Staff has been told that there's not much they can break that I can't fix. I encourage them to try things out and if things go south, then we try to get them right. Just don't touch that big red button...
