and yes, I'm back at work and don't have the time to engage in endless debate. I do understand your concern, and respect your perspective. It would indeed seem the simplest solution would be for someone or a small group of admins to step forward and takeover from Admin1 as he has asked.

My initial interest was sparked by what I thought I read in concerns with the viability of the current software, hosting, domain name registration et al. If you've never run this sort of thing before this might seem an onerous task, once it's up and running, asides from occasional hickups and surges in activity levels, such as this one, it's really not. As I've posted before,I've been involved in and am still involved in a couple of online systems, if there was any doubt about the future of what seemed a useful but somewhat limited discussion forum, given the success I had in my time at IBM UK, and the reward that flowed from it, this really wasn't a big deal for me. I have a support system in place, software developers, and even an attorney to advise and act on any legal issues.

My offer stands, if you are unable to come to a satisfactory solution taking over the current hosting/domain name ownership etc. please get in touch.
