And all the stuff that goes along with everything so as of June 2nd the site will no longer cease to exist. Sorry guys it's been a great 10+ yrars with some great people!! I don't want to do it! So go ahead and exchange your emails with each other your phone numbers with each other and drilling else but we have till June 2nd love you all and will really miss the board

MJ rather than just let the lights go out have you thought about passing the reigns over to a willing board member? I bet there are a couple or three people who would step up and take it over - possibly myself.

Thank you for all the great years, if possible to continue the site for a fee am in. I look at this site everyday so I hate to see it sink. Thanks again Tommy

Same here on paying something to keep this going. I can't host it - it would be a disaster if I tried but will sure support you or one of the other guys as much as I can to keep it going. I too, visit almost every day and would really miss it if it were gone.

I also am very grateful for your years faithful service and I think all of our community would completely support you if you wanted to hand off all or part of your duties.

Please let us know what we can do.

Just keep this in mind... I own and operate a website & app development firm down here in South Florida. We host a lot of websites on our dedicated servers... I don't think this one wouldn't be a problem. Let me know what the file size is on the root folder and what kind of bandwidth we'd be looking at.

Cool

Well, I, for one, am not willing to let this site go down without a fight. So what are we talking about as far as $$ goes MJ? Who is running the site now, how much do they want in the future, etc. Need some information about the workings of the site to make informed decisions. But like a few others have said already, I would bet there are several people here, including myself, that might be able to step up to the plate and take over the admin duties, etc. Actually, because of your health, I've been expecting something like this for a while now. Maybe it's time to pass the reins MJ.

I'm with the others. I'm not willing to sit and watch this place go if I can do something about it. I have no idea how to host but can help out fund wise.

MJ let us know how to help!!
