Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
That’s not that expensive.

That's not bad if you know how to do all your own IT work.

That doesn't count the tech involvement. That's the real expense.
Plus amount of time that you have to invest in running a website.
If somebody takes over this place is probably because of the money it's because they want to do it.
Maybe they can turn it around a little bit and find a way to make some extra money.

That is the issue
Plus the cost of setting up a corporation, the extra income tax preparation and probably some liability insurance.

There really isn't that much time involved in running it especially if you have moderator's which this one has plenty. They do it on their own free will. The time is the IT guy which is also the biggest cost.
I think you're making it sound a little bit easier than it actually is

I had a website/forum at one time so yea I do kinda know. My son who is a computer science major did all my IT work for me and it wasn't really time consuming for him just every now and then there would be a glitch which he would fix. You ever have a website?

It sounds daunting because we don’t know how to do it. The younger members know way more about it. I say we get behind whoever wants to give it a go, kick in some money. If not, it’s over. But we should try.
No I did not. Like I said I don't know what's involved with all of it but I'm sure it's a little harder than everyone's making it seem to be.
Absolutely. If someone wants to continue Cheryl's legacy there are many of us out here that will try to help out.

I’ve spoken to some tech savvy youngsters, and what I heard seems to bear out what you’re saying.

Maybe. Maybe not. We’re just groping in the dark here. Any word about what’s going on?

Once you get it up and running it pretty much runs itself. You just need to keep up on security updates mostly. Mods working for free as slave labor helps.

It's really not. As long as you have an IT guy,someone to pay the bills(server,forum software,etc.)and someone to be an Administrator(they are the one's that have full control of the website, mod's have limited access)then you're good to go. Yes the hardest thing here would be finding someone to be Admin. Once all that is set up as long as there isn't constant IT problems it'll run itself(at least mine did). The big problem here is someone taking it over(if her daughter does not) needs all Cheryl's passwords,billing would have to be changed,etc. Yes taking it over will be hard it may be easier for someone(who want's to take the plunge)to just start a new website.

I'm sure not much has changed since I had one other than the cost's.
I seem to be the middle guy so far and I haven't heard anything from either party yet.

He who laughs last didn't get it.
This site would be child’s play for @TearsInRain to operate. Be nice if that lazy sob stepped up for once.
