[QUOTE="newfie, post: 5969023, member: 58700"] i would consider it because i want to preserve what we as a community have built here. I have been here in one form or another since the early days and I'm sorry many of you missed those days and the great folks we had then. this current group is in many ways more knowledable and more demanding but also good. there are some though that i now have muted so i dont have to read their crap but taking ownership would mean i have to read their postings. I have some website skills I have built three myself and currently maintain an educational website that i am building to preserve the history of cast iron toys. Believing the site should be maintained by the best most skilled website administrator available there is one here that should have the first option. The registration fee to keep the domain name registered is a cost but generally not outrageous. with that said Cheryl built a site that is probably far ahead of what i have dealt with so i would have to get myself up to speed on the software used to maintain this forum. Google ads revenue is nice but not needed unless there is some other significant cost I'm not aware of. If the ownership came to me I would have to have the support of the current mods to take it seriously. One of my thoughts would be to bring back the chat room. The sunday night chats we had here were a great way to build a community though i think the corner bar has been a nice substitute. In any case I am not aggressively pursing it but i would consider taking it to preserve what we have here. I don't want to see this page end its been a lot of fun over the years. [/QUOTE]
