While I am not surprised, I did not know that this was going to happen, or at least so soon.
You have created something worthwhile in these sites.

I understand that it must have taken a lot of soul searching to come to your decision.
It would be a great pity to lose you as the forum owner and, if the forum folds, the knoweldge base developed over the past few years.

What would it take to convince you to remain as the site owner?
Is it possible, at all?

What would it take (in terms of financial support for the forum), to ensure it continues to operate? This should indicate the current costs for a new owner and projections for future increases in bandwidth and software upgrades (about every 2 - 3 years I would expect).

I am not in a position to buy the site, but I can make recommendations to others (including WARFA) for ongoing financial support of the site.

What else can we do, to help ensure that the Forum continues?

Tony
