I see no reason why ownership of the site and keeping it alive is a problem because of Trevor's other interests.

The problem is not Trevor, the problem is that Trevor usually comes with a lot of baggage in the form of paranoid, greedy, ego-driven wannabe VIPs that really do not understand how forums work. Or products. Or communication in general.

And it never was a good idea to have a vendor run a big Amiga community site. It hurt this site badly when Wayne was alternatively working/bending over for AInc and Genesi, the early years of AW could be described as a field experiment in scamming as many people as possible - and the official OS4 forums only exist to move most of the OS4 related discussion to a place where ssolie can delete everything that "is off-topic", "has been answered already" or "was written by a troll".

It should also be noted that amigakit has a habbit of using Forums for free advertisement. As far as I'm concerned, moderators should reign them in, not answer to them ;)

That said: Thanks a lot to Trevor and Matthew for freeing us from the previous owner's reign of terror.
