NEWS Site Back up

Maybe not for me to say but if the administration of the site is becoming overly time consuming is there someone out there who has an IT background and is familiar with the software used on a hosted server who would be willing to assume a portion of the workload? I don't have that skillset, but in the 1,000 or so of the relatively active members maybe there are a few people who would be willing to help.

I've done that in the past behind the scenes and prefer to not do that again as personal preferences tend to get in the way.

At some point I will decide to walk away from it and would like to just give it to someone much younger with a similar idea of how to run it and hopefully allow it to go on even if I don't. Retirement is coming up in a couple years and I might decide I don't want to run a site anymore... I promise I won't just drop it, I'll give it to someone I feel will push it forward.
 
Retirement??? That means you will have more free time to handle the site! Sorry! I think we all know retirement doesn't bring free time. Just a opportunity to catch up on all the stuff we have been putting off before we ride off into the vast beyond!

Now that you mention that, I use to regularly see members other than yourself listed as moderators who I assumed shared the load with you. It has been quite a while that I have not seen anyone listed as a moderator and I have wondered why that is.

I don't know anything about what it takes to keep this site running. I have enough trouble just keeping all my passwords sorted out, so I do appreciate all of the effort that you put in to this site.

Ha Ha... watch me.
 
What's amazing is Joe has been too. And he doesn't even ride an ST anymore.

Some people do good things by chance because they are looking to get rich. I doubt Joe got rich from this. Except in friends wherever he goes.


I don't like FB either, but I can use it for my own purposes, not theirs. ;)

I've been off Facebook for two years now. Got a distant family member (distant in miles) who absolutely hates me and has since we were in public schools. Started banning me on FB. They accept the complaint without investigation and will not respond to questions on my part. Third time, I decided FB simply wasn't an ethical concern. Don't miss it a bit.
