Aloha, all:
I have been in contact with the organization that hosts this Web-site, & we have a problem.
The owner is simply no longer interested in maintaining e-Budo, & has not responded to multiple voice-mails & e-mails to discuss the site. He is $600 behind on hosting fees & is accumulating an additional $20 each month.
I would like to start a conversation on who among us is interested in continuing e-Budo. Here are my priorities:
1. Collect $600 to bring the hosting service current - they deserve this!
2. Identify people who will pay $20 once a year so that the fees don't fall behind again. I am the first of these people.
3. Identify people who will maintain the Web-site. This differs from the folks who monitor each forum.
4. Come up with some ideas on how to keep the site owner from arbitrarily taking down the site. This will include downloading & backing up ALL of the valuable data currently in storage, & then getting a small group together to see if we can simply buy the site's rights from the owner. I don't think that will be easy.
If we do nothing, then Orionweb.net has every right to permanently take down the Web-site, so please get back to me with ideas & offers.
Thanks!!
