Who wants to purchase A.org?

Wow, go away for a few days and who knows what you might miss. What ever the out come, Wayne thanks for all the work over the years making this one of my all time favorite sites to be a member of.

Dang, first the Amiga Web Directory, and then Amiga.org. One can only take so many changes in a decade or two.

I'd be torn between new owners and management. It's always basically been "The Amiga according to Wayne" around here and that's been fine by me. Where ever it lands now, if not guided by loyal users, will it remain a favorite? Check my next post for another idea.

Personally I think multiple owners would lead to quite a mess one day. The same goes for a corporate owner.

Instead I would agree with donating to a fund to buy the site, electing a new administrator, turning it over to them with an agreement/contract that the site/property would be relinquished back to the community if they decided to step down so that the process could be repeated if needed.

I don't know if thay type of arrangement fits the non-profit model AmigaDave is proposing or not.

Oh, the wife will trounce me, but put me down for $100.

Whoever owns the most shares *should* have control over the site and do as he/shewishes.

I woundn't agree with that model. I'd like to see the funds as donations. The community would be the guide.

Well done as usual Wayne. Should be an interesting time ahead.

-edit- The clue was in my last edit... bah! are there no Blackadder fans online?

Blackadder... ok, Mr. Bean even better, Red Drawf ... priceless. No relation to the last one, I know.

Whats the amount needed to fund this purchase and keep A.org going?

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