Access to the content provided by The Checker Maven is free. It always has been and always will be. Furthermore we do not and will not accept third party advertising and remain 100% non-commercial, neither seeking nor earning any profit.
That doesn't mean that The Checker Maven runs for free, however. Costs have increased greatly over the years, and merely supporting our webzine on a shared-host server now (end of 2024) costs several hundred dollars per year.
However despite rising costs we will maintain our policy. The Checker Maven remains forever free and any proposed donations will be politely declined.
Please just keep in mind that this is a volunteer effort, paid for out of limited internal funds, and while we do the best we can, we can only do so much.
Thank you for being a reader of The Checker Maven.
