I remember talking to Lud about this a bit at the last NSXPO. He said he was getting pretty worn out from the years of running the website and was looking to pass the torch. We talked for a bit and he said that unfortunately no one really wanted to step up and buy it from him but DocJohn. I encouraged him to try and find somebody, anybody but DocJohn as I think we can all agree that the website will rapidly deteriorate especially with the gaudy new black & yellow color scheme is is planning to implement, but in the end Lud deserves his well earned break, so I think we will simply need to grit our teeth and try to endure the change in management.
I would encourage some of our more deep pocketed members to step up to the plate and consider counter offering DocJohn's offer with a bigger number. It really is your chance to spend some money and help future generations of prime members.
