Why does it matter if we know who owns the site or not? It's a good site, I enjoy it. Now that I know some name to call it's owner, what has changed? So far I still enjoy it and think it's a good site. And being able to type or say a name still doesn't tell me who that is, and I really don't care. It's a good site that I enjoy, so whoever he is, he must be doing OK with it.
I don't particularly care who the man is, or what his interests are. But there are valid reasons people have questions - some of them being:
1 - Data and information integrity - I do like the assumed idea that my information that I have provided (email addy, IP's, etc) to a site are not being used for spam or marketing purposes, etc. Would you use forums operated by a known spam king? I wouldn't, but I also don't use real data like my main email address for any forums, generally.
2 - the old "I hope he's one of us, is all" factor. Doesn't really effect me, but I am sure some people here would be more content with the idea a new owner is a born and bred Amiga fan and user, rather than perhaps someone just buying a forums site for advert click-thru's.
End of the day, forums sites are a dime a dozen and if one doesn't like the place (here or elsewhere), there's other options - including starting your own, which costs very little these days.
