That is completely fair Kingroy, it is not like you or anyone else is getting paid to maintain, mod and post on this forum! I am very happy it remains online. Really appreciate your efforts!!
And that is also and partially because I loathe Discord, besides the horrible privacy track record of Discord, I don’t want another program or app that I have to install. Besides, I very much like the forum format. It is easier to make considered posts, edit them, find longer writings even years later. “immediate” is not important to me. If I wanted that I would use Signal or such.
← Even if only half of this is true,… nope, no thanks, not installing it/getting into bed with with TenCent and giving all my data to them and China.
Do you think this forum will remain online for years to come?
What are the monthly costs associated with running/hosting this forum?
Is it possible to ask the founder if he would be willing to hand over the reigns/forum over to someone else who wants to be more hands-on and focus on growing the forum?
