June 2nd we are no longer going to have free hosting and I cannot afford to pay for the site. And all the stuff that goes along with everything so as of June 2nd the site will no longer cease to exist. Sorry guys it's been a great 10+ yrars with some great people!! I don't want to do it! So go ahead and exchange your emails with each other your phone numbers with each other and drilling else but we have till June 2nd love you all and will really miss the board
 
MJ rather than just let the lights go out have you thought about passing the reigns over to a willing board member? I bet there are a couple or three people who would step up and take it over - possibly myself.
 
Thank you for all the great years, if possible to continue the site for a fee am in. I look at this site everyday so I hate to see it sink. Thanks again Tommy
 
Same here on paying something to keep this going. I can't host it - it would be a disaster if I tried but will sure support you or one of the other guys as much as I can to keep it going. I too, visit almost every day and would really miss it if it were gone.

I also am very grateful for your years faithful service and I think all of our community would completely support you if you wanted to hand off all or part of your duties.

Please let us know what we can do.
 
Just keep this in mind... I own and operate a website & app development firm down here in South Florida. We host a lot of websites on our dedicated servers... I don't think this one wouldn't be a problem. Let me know what the file size is on the root folder and what kind of bandwidth we'd be looking at.
 
Well, I, for one, am not willing to let this site go down without a fight. So what are we talking about as far as $$ goes MJ? Who is running the site now, how much do they want in the future, etc. Need some information about the workings of the site to make informed decisions. But like a few others have said already, I would bet there are several people here, including myself, that might be able to step up to the plate and take over the admin duties, etc. Actually, because of your health, I've been expecting something like this for a while now. Maybe it's time to pass the reins MJ.
 
I'm with the others. I'm not willing to sit and watch this place go if I can do something about it. I have no idea how to host but can help out fund wise.

MJ let us know how to help!!

what he said!!!!!!!

btw MJ, hope you are feeling better
 
Well this is a bummer. You've done us all so much by keeping this page up and running MJ. I certainly would help out financially. Even though I currently own no V-20's (amazing I know) you guys have been great to talk boats with. I'm on a few different boat forums and you guys are by far the coolest. I'd hate to see this go away, let's keep this from happening!!
 
Mj...God bless you...I understand you have some health challenges and I am sure taking care of this motley crew is not easy.
I am willing to contribute also. It's a great site...let's see what we can do.

Okay by popular demand I'm going to be in talks with a couple of people see what we can do about keeping the side up I wouldn't like to see you. Physically mentally financially I can't do it any longer but I will turn the reins over to someone and I already reached and we can see what happens what has to be very very quicklyc
 
Thanks for a job well done, mj. I have no idea what's involved or cost in keeping this site alive, but i would hate to see it go away.

Let us know what we can do
 
MJ, you've done an outstanding job on this website with your commitment, rules and diligence to persevere during some very strenuous past years. You've brought a lot of good folks together to build a great camaraderie amongst us as well as a creating a learning platform for all. Never met any of the guys, but consider them all my friends. Pass the torch to a willing member, but please stay with us. . If it takes a fee to keep it going, count me in. Thank you my friend and the best to you and all V20 family.:beer:
 
Thanks for all your work on the site MJ!
I hope it can keep going. I get so much info and so many ideas from here. And the stories from good people. I will certainly kick in some clams to keep it going.

I am putting up a Facebook page "Wellcraft V20 Steplift" so we have a means of communication if we go dark. I started it but I have to go to work. Might be up on FB tonight.
