Who wants to purchase A.org?

That's my only real reservation about the idea, tbh. It's bound to cause some friction. You'd want to draw up a formal idea for the site management first that people agree to before handing over any money. I don't think a site like this should be run by an ad-hoc collective of people that have paid for it.

Being a financial stakeholder in the site shouldn't mean you have undue influence in how it is run, IMO.

^^^ This.

If we did take over the site one of the first things I would make sure happened is Karlos being compensated for his hard work migrating all the old info to vBulletin.

Just be aware that his prefered method of payment is curry.

I am leaning toward putting my support toward creation of a U.S. based Non-Profit organization which would purchase and run the site pretty much as it has been run in the past.

How would that work exactly?

If this is in any way serious, the way to go is to set up a non-profit organization for the purpose of purchasing and running this Amiga Community site. This entity would take tax deductable donations, run fundraisers, and run other promotions to fund the site. This means that there would be a board of directors, a site admin plus moderator staff, and possibly paid membership that would confir voting rights along with other perks.
I feel to do otherwise is to bring chaos and disaster. I would hope Wayne would refuse any offers other than sole ownership or like the above.  There simply needs to be organization.

Ok that answers what I was asking earlier.

I think I could certainly get along with that. As for choosing a board of directors...

Good luck

LOL.. its probably the SQL 'update' command that had something  to do with it  

Are you suggesting that he inflated his numbers?!
