Ian from Forgotten Weapons is seeking funding to expand the website back to its original vision as a comprehensive archive of historical firearms data. Due to his commitment to daily video production, he plans to hire a professional curator and allocate a budget for researchers. Funding is preferred through direct support via Patreon rather than advertising, as many ad networks are hesitant to work with firearms-related content. He is currently refining perks for Patreon supporters while ensuring the archive remains freely accessible.
