928 registry

I just read over at RL that Chuck Z has decided to sell 928 Registry site. Anything in the works for 928OC to buy it?

If so and 928OC ends up with it, I volunteer to help maintain it.

His latest post said that as soon as he is finished moving, he is going to put it on EBay for sale.
I don't think that bodes well for the future of the Registry website.

Part of what Chuck said at RL.

"If there are no serious offers between now and the time we move; after we settle in, I plan to put it on eBay.

What goes with the site:

Of course, all of the online stuff but in addition to that:

All of the paper files/records/documents that I have accumulated over the years. Some of which is on the site and some of which is not.

To contact me regarding the purchase of the site, please send email to: chuck "at" 928registry.org Please do not PM, with my schedule its just to hard to respond in a timely manner since I have to log on to RL to do so."

I don't think 928OC bidding on E-bay for it, is the right thing to do though.
No thoughts from anyone here?

ask the board of directors.......this should be voted on asap IMHO

My opinion is that first someone with the technical abilities and motivation to maintain the site is needed.

My opinion is that the site needs to be re-developed so it can be maintained by the car owners, rather than a single person. My suggestion is that the site be migrated into its own forum where owners can maintain their information, with a moderator ensuring no history is deleted. This would be relatively simple but require many hours of effort to be accomplished. Once done, the maintenance of the information would be relatively simple.

If there is someone willing to *volunteer* such an effort, I would advocate they contact James Morrison and make that offer. Or of course make some other offer.

I would also suggest that the data in the site should not be made available to anyone that would use if to solicit those who provided the data.

The registry is being sold...........it would have to be purschased first by OC prior to the discussion of management.......someone on the board needs to step up here asap.......i PM folks I thought could take immediate action or the registry will be lost
