Don't misread that... donations, when they came in, were very helpful and much appreciated. Considering that my objective was/is and has always been laser focused on keeping the forums online, and my feeling some burnout lately, I felt it may be a good time to see who else was interested in assuming the lead. Michael had some thoughts about utilizing the server for other sites or whatnot, so he was the obvious choice for the lead. Plus, he is the savior who brought us back from a pile of ashes after Jeff passed.
There are no plans to shut the forums down, and I plan to remain, but in a reduced capacity... mainly 'vetting' new members as they sign up so we can keep the toilet ticks out. I'll still carry the 'Administrator' tag.
I remain committed to keeping us online, so unless I kick the bucket, I'll be here to catch us if we fall. I've done it twice now, so it's becoming routine. I have a great deal of faith that Michael will keep us running at 99.999% efficiency, and will make some changes (such as OS and software upgrades) as his time permits.
So, just look at this as business as usual. I've always been honest with everyone, so this should be no different.
As an added note... I am trying to refrain from posting in the political arena very frequently because I'm not capable of controlling myself. Politics piss me off so bad these days that I wonder why I even care.
Carry on! <--- Lots of mileage to be had with that in the word association thread... think Hawkeye Pierce.
