Thank you Don! I have been addicted to this page for over 25 years! Easily my fix for everything Lake Winn, which I need mentally, hundreds of times per year. Thank you for your creativity and hard work keeping this page humming.
All the best!

I am unsure of what is needed to host a site like this, but willing to learn if it means keeping it alive! I am sure that we could get some people together to keep it going!

Has Don actually said that this is the end of the forum? Or does he just need some extra help and financial aid? I’m sure we could figure something out.

I've been on this forum since 2002!!! I'm all in for helping manage the site but I'm not sure how or what I can do.

I do volunteer admin on a couple other forums. 90% of it is just deleting spam and banning spammers. There is a little bit of referee if members get in a tiff, but not much of that.

Running the actual site is pretty simple once it's going, normally they are hosted on a commercial platform that takes care of the server updates and such. It is not a huge amount of work but the problem is it never lets up since it's a 24/7 operation

the amount of spam that can show up on a site like this is astounding.
