Who wants to purchase A.org?

[Karlos]

The only thing to work out then would be who actually owns it...

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.

[Karlos]

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.

Thanks, but that's really not necessary. I certainly didn't offer to help with any such intentions. Basically, I love the site and the many good friends I've made here. Like many old-timers, I have a lot of fond memories of the place I didn't want to see the new site missing the old content.

Simply put, if I had the $10,000 to spare, this thread wouldn't even be here

[Karlos]

I pledge a contribution of US$ 100,-, any say that may give me I hereby hand over to Karlos.

When I said I don't think the site should be run by everybody that has contributed, I wasn't vying for power

[Karlos]

Good, then I won't have to fight you

Yes, as you'd lose royally, ye wee southern woofer

[Karlos]

LOL, no doubt.

Maybe if the spanish lesbians take over, this entire site can continue to exist exist as a subdomain, safely out of the way of their sapphic latin love...

[Karlos]

Oh dear, here we go again :roflmao:

[Karlos]

True fact:

Many lesbians think I haven't got what it takes to satisfy them... but I say this is bunkum!! I have everything and more!!!

What, you had the procedure already?

[Karlos]

:lol:

Yup, I had another one installed!

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why stewardship of this site is probably best not placed in either of our hands ::lol:

[Karlos]

@JJ

Sorry, I'm not privy to that kind of information.

[Karlos]

I wonder how much Karlos and I could earn by performing for "interested" parties

If it will save the site...

Oi, that's defamation, that is!

As you can see, I hit 10,000 posts in Jan 2007. I took a bit of a sabbatical since and only really started posting again fairly recently. I suspect bloodline will overtake me soon enough.

[Karlos]

Maybe with non sense chat with bloodine lke at the start of this thread.

I was about to take exception to that, but on reflection you're probably right. I would estimate that probably only half of my posts are amiga related. Though, expect that's equally true of most members.

Anyway, back to the point. If a suitable model is put in place, I'd be prepared to chip in to the buyout.

[Karlos]

See? Nothing to worry about
*cancels orders of pills and razor blades*

@Wayne

There is one question I think is quite important. Once you transfer ownership of the site, you will stay on as a member, right?

The place would not be quite the same otherwise.

[Karlos]

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...

That would be pretty good. I can honestly say that I'm starting to get back into it again.
