Only being an active member here for a while and moreso recently - heck I even fed the Kitty
I really enjoy my multiple daily visits here and would be very sad to see it go, so I hope it doesn't if Wayne can't get the asking price.
Amiga is absolutely not Amiga Inc, or Commodore (with their £3000+ uber PC's). Amiga is now us. It's the active community with a badge on it. We each own a part of that name now as we're the only ones who care any more.
If I can do anything to help raise the funds Wayne needs I will but won't be able to swing $10k past the wife. It's bad enough getting the odd piece of kit in here these days. I am however willing to contribute.
Proposition
- Someone takes ownership of pledges of financial buy in from the community (I would be able to pledge $200 for instance)
- We compile all the pledges to get a value which Wayne may or may not accept (if it doesn't sell on eBay)
- If Wayne accepts then each pledge pay's Wayne their pledge money
- Pledgers go into a pot and vote themselves in to run the site
- Voting is opened to the whole community and whomever gets the most votes - runs the site but doesn't own it per se
I could probably get a contract drawn up that would show percentages of site owned by each of us so that if it was ever sold on - we would get a share of the sale.
What do you all think?
John
