Thank God!  I was just about to toss my hat in to helping form a non-profit. As I've looked into it abit for another hobby area of mine. Well, so much for the Amiga.org Foundation.
Now I wonder who the new boss will be...

Hi guys,

Over the past three days, I have been very overwhelmed with the support shown by our members regarding the potential sale of Amiga.org... I am literally humbled to know that there are some of you who will go to great lengths to preserve this great site for the future. It proves to me what an incredible community this always has been.

That being said, I'm very happy to informally announce I have received an offer from a person I trust with the future of this site. He, his partners, and I have come to a tentative agreement regarding the sale and subsequent transfer of Amiga.org.

Once we iron out all the particulars and a contract is signed, there will be a 3-month transition period to follow during which time absolutely nothing about the site itself should change.  

All of our current moderators will remain (should they choose to do so), only my successor will need to be chosen by the new owners, and I've made my recommendation to the purchaser as to who I personally think would be the best person for the job.

As I promised when this drama began, absolutely nothing about this site will change in the foreseeable future, save for one staff change. Both I, and the potential owners are in complete agreement on that core ideal.

Amiga.org has always, and will always exist to support the Amiga community as best as we possibly can and I will make absolutely sure that you are all kept in the loop as to any changes, as soon as they occur.

Even though I'm not going anywhere right now, I am honored by your remarkable support, and will always be grateful to each of you for the chance to provide Amiga.org to the community for all these years.

Wow!

I just got really busy at work recently and haven't had a chance to check the site.

I've just  read the news about the sale and subsequently a deal being struck.

Wayne needed to move on  and now he can finally do so. Someone else who values the site as much as him will gain control of it.

What more could we ask for?  I'm glad things worked out.

I find it funny. Amiga.org sold for 10.000 usd in a couple of days, while Amiga in ten years couldnt gather as much sales.

Glad it all worked out and I look forward to finding out who our new benefactor is.

Yikes, things move fast when you don't check in on long threads during the work week. :)

Have to say, the change makes me a little nervous (as change always does), but I trust that everything will work out well in the end.

Wayne, thanks for your years of servicve to the site and the community!

The price tag was $10,000 US. Some one has met the goal or made a reasonable enough offer to close the deal.

Congratulations Wayne. You really are part of the whole scene here, and we will miss you, but I do understand that people have to move on in life. Drop in and let us know whats happening, or post a new blog whenever you can :)

Right, so what do we know about spanish lesbians :roflmao:

I will be around, but after the transition period, will assume an advisory role only.  Speak when spoken too and all that.

Who knows?  Once I don't have to work so hard keeping things running day-to-day, I may actually get back into the Amiga...  :)

Wayne
I'm very glad to hear this!

keeping the Amiga History and the AMiga Spirit is important.

I hope the coming days grant you renewed fun!

lol   Then turns it over for profit on EBay.  Don't think Wayne would let that happen. ;)

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication Wayne. You made a nice place to discuss a common intrest amongst people from all over the world. Let's hope the new owners continue the same.
