Did I miss something?

As I've said before.

I have an archive of this site and links referenced by the site.

I have spoken with a couple people about this in depth.

I have been asked to upload the archive to the Internet Archive by at least one person whom was involved in the beginnings of this place.

I will honor that request.  However, I will NOT do anything until the plug is pulled here.  Copyright.

I know Steve lost his wife and pretty much stepped away from the site at that point.  I have not heard anything else but if ypu compare dates of that tragedy and the downfall of pretty much anything more than Pete's moderation, they coincide.


I've offered to revive this site, upgrade it, etc.  I've put this out on multiple forums, and got a single response from anyone that could say they where at least here in the beginning and they asked me to put it on the internet archive, which I will comply with.


It's just utterly sad that nobody will step up and say "we could give a flying shit about amfone anymore.  Here's the keys, please honor the legacy we built", which would be my entire intention.

Instead, its just going to die.

And no, id say without anything from K4HX, dont donate again.  Why?  How do we know the site will still be here?

Id rather take that 50 to hundred dollars and buy a new hard drive to hold this site, since it seems that's going to be around longer.

As soon as the web hosting bill doesn't get paid, that will be it.  We may be looking at that now, what with the throttling, the inane hours of actual operation, etc.


Sad, but with zero response from anyone that can actually do anything and the only moderator that exists now being one that gives cryptic or just plain BS answers, this is it.

There is one other site I read infrequently, Eham.  I was over there the other day and noticed their Antique forum is pretty much inactive like here.  Only a few people post which indicates that traffic on the topic of AM has declined a lot. 

If there are costs involved, which there is, it is not something but a few want to bear given the lack of activity.  I have been a member of this site since inception having moved over from the merger when Brian/W5AMI moved his operation here.  Maybe it is time to let this go and if someone wants to move it to and Achive site ok.
