XTreme Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 The question was asked by @busabeast quite recently......what happens to the forum if something happens to me? It's a valid question considering that I'm nearly 70 and about to go into an operating theatre! After all, it's not unknown for people to go in for minor things and never make it back out! My answer to him was that it would be given to the Mods......if they want it of course. If they don't, then the option would be open to any of you who'd be interested in taking it over. Now bear in mind that at some point the current server would no longer be available as the business will no longer exist. So whoever takes it over would have to assume the financial responsibility for it. Cost? Anything between £350 to £500 per annum which would include Hosting, Software Licensing, and Domain. Of course you could offset that somewhat by running Google Ads if you wanted. As I said, the Mods have first option! But if you (or a couple of you together) want to be considered as well then post up your interest here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Quite right, structure, rules, routine, obedience, inflexibility and constraint are all so much more appealing than freedom and spontaneity. Said no sane person ever. @XTreme stop being morbid, it’s a hernia repair not open heart surgery and if you feckin die and leave someone with the diplomatic skills of a chihuahua at the helm it’ll be carnage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no obligation.......I just offered it to you and @Buckster cos you're already Mods. If you don't think it's for you, just say and I'll offer it to @Pedro because he's doing a good job on TOTY at the moment. If Pedro doesn't want it then I'll throw it open to the rest of the board!

Pedro Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 If you’re a goner leave a note to the wife to turn that topbox into a flower garden. If you’re stressing, it’s good to leave this sort of things written down, makes you calmer and by doing it it already helps yourself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....I'm not stressing whatsoever. I was born with a Hernia (on the other side) so there's no way a Hernia's going to kill me. But as the business is solely me, I have to prepare for any eventuality. Even if the odds on something going wrong are a million to one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they let you keep the Hernia , so you could put it in a little display box or something , so you can leave it on display in your front room ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
