Problems with the board

[_Lemmie]

If the current offer on the table is accepted and the person who has made the offer becomes the owner of the board,

Is this what was discussed previously? If not, may I ask who is this person and what is the offer?

Doesn't matter at this point since the owner isn't responding. I think if nothing is resolved within the next couple of weeks, someone is probably going to need to start a new forum from scratch with another domain name.

I'm wondering if there's another way to present the offer. I don't know how it was made to begin with--text, email, etc. I don't need to know that. Maybe there's a better way to do it...phone call, drop over, or certified letter?

Just making suggestions thinking it might move the needle.

Shades has made public that Keene Maverick owns the board. If you bring up "the Team" you'll see his name still appears there probably in red. He posted here at the beginning and then, nothing.

Maybe he died... O.O

Obviously the owner isn’t responding but I am still interested. Is someone willing to share this? If not then stop alluding to it, please. Many are involved with this board, this clandestine “the person who offered” and “the offer that was made” is silly. I would be willing to provide financial support also, but not to a behind-the-scenes, only-those-in-the-know secret plan where the only information given is “trust us, it’s for the best.” We’re not twelve anymore, right guys?

Well damn. If I say, I'm a rule breaking heathen. If I don't say, I'm a twelve year old.

Making public that which is posted via the chat room (r.i.p.) or private message is what's against the rules. It's okay to post information that you got via e-mail--like from Daniel C. Peterson--since that's off-board.

. . . just as long as it isn't personal information like a social security number or an address, of course. So Icarus did nothing wrong.

AND TO CLARIFY:

Keene Maverick and "Mav" are two different people. The latter is the nickname of the board's legal owner; the former is the guy whom the latter entrusted with solving the board's technical issues whenever they arose. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Keene hasn't been able to fulfill that role for quite some time, and although he's not dead--I talked to him on the phone a number of months ago--he's still unable. Therefore, for board purposes, Keene no longer plays any part.

It's entirely up to Mav to relinquish the domain name and allow us to replicate everything in the database on a new server. The reason I haven't bothered to detail any of the e-mail-based discussions regarding salvaging/saving the board is because A) nothing is set-in-stone yet, B) I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, and C) I don't know how much the others wish to disclose regarding either their identities or their involvement.

Thanks for clarifying, Shades.

Well damn. I just got a tongue lashing from Jersey Girl for nothing?
