It's bad enough I've seen your pics of you in a tutu. I DO NOT want to see pics of you nude. However, I cannot speak for Will...

somewhat back on topic..... (enough of fatties with flour talk for now), could we get the straight story from Gary directly?
how much it costs to run this place presently, how much he wants to have someone take this off his hands? once we have that, we can shop around and see if better hosting deals are available and then make decisions. seems to me one of the mods with knowledge of how a website works would be the best choice to take over official ownership, even if it doesn't cost him anything personally (due to subscriptions covering ongoing costs). |

all this talk about the finances... and that may not be the crux of the issue.

I'm pretty certain that's the sole issue.

My site is revenue generating so far be it from me to begrudge anyone from making money off a site. I’m just responding to a question that was posed regarding operating costs.

I am sure there are people here who have Database Administration backgrounds who could probably do it. |

there are plenty of folks here who want this place to remain. but without details, it's hard to step up and say "i'll take over", not knowing what the costs are. the motives really don't matter. you want out, post details and wait for someone to make an offer. |

Being retarred and all, I have the time to help on admin.....but I dunno shit about running a web site......that would be more in my wife's dept......she on computers with countless businesses every damn day.....
trick is she is overloaded completely..... Hitlery had her own server.....so where was it physically located?? for sure, not some news story....on a server farm with battery/gen set backup, similar to phone company.......not some closet..... It is MY understand that a 'server' is nothing but a desk top PC programmed to act that way, and that the HD is nothing special..... so IF I am correct, what is the time consumption on keeping it running, unless you have to wipe it off with a cloth??? |

I don’t know Gary so I don’t know his ability level.. Maybe he can chime in. Maybe he hasn’t got the ability to actually do VBulletin administration so he pays someone to actually run the Crons and navigate Unix. If so, then I can see where it could get expensive paying a programmer or database administrator.
Doing VBulletin back-ups and running patch updates, etc. is something that requires a bit of expertise and if you can’t then someone has to be paid to do it. |

I'd be willing to kick in some pocket change if that would help keep the place open. Oh, and let's not overlook that little detail of Gary's dead date for the forum: April 1st. Hmmm, what is it about that day? |

I'm trying to tell ya...
what happens when the operational funds are all matched... and there's an emergency fund as well... and the forum is still shut down on March 31st? A person has reached burn-out status; money alone won't take care of this. ignore it if you want. |

if Gary is tired of being owner, then say "i'm tired, who wants to take over?" maybe some money and some papers change hands. all done, Gary is free to move on with his life and not worry about this website ever again. but playing "guess what the deal is" is pointless. |
