Hey, Cap--I know life can hit you with big changes out of the blue. Believe me, I'm there now and have been for quite some time and I know you have to let go of some things when unforeseen stuff piles on you. I hope the best for you and whatever your personal situation is. Life will find a new normal if it doesn't go back totally to the old normal. In the meantime, consider appointing a small comity of members to run the site for you. I know I'm nobody here but you just check my post count over on ninjaforums. I'm Rook over there. If there is anything I can do to help keep this forum running, I'll do it. I spend a huge amount of time on this sort of thing already.
Forums come and then they go. It's happened to me once already. New forums sprung up with much the same information. I still would prefer to keep what has started going. If it is going to end, might I suggest we agree to keep our busa.org names and meet somewhere else? I know of no other forums dedicated to the Hayabusa but I'll keep Mythos as my name.
