HondaCB650.com to go dark on Nov 1st. :/

All,

I'm sad to say that in an effort to scale back on my families finances, one of the items that we've decided to eliminate is the money I'm spending to host both this site and my personal site.

I just can't afford the $400+ per year that I'm spending to keep the site running.

This is my plea that someone will take this board on and keep it going. I am willing to serve as a technical consultant till things are up and running. The domain name will go with the new owner, I'll transfer it for free, I'd just like to keep the site alive.

I anticipate the site going offline on Oct 31st. I hope someone out there has the spare cash and the minimal time necessary to keep it running.

It's been a great almost 4 years. I apologize to all the members that its come to this, but we need to save the money to keep from falling behind.

Please contact me if you are interested in carrying on.

Chris

Just went to the site and page came up saying it was migrating to a new home.  Sounds like it was saved.  At least I hope.

Chris (the site owner) managed to work out a deal with a member that works for a ISP and while they did not mention details it must have been good enough to keep it going.. I love happy endings..
