I will be shutting down the forum on May 31st. I suggest everyone use the Facebook Group

Why is that Milli? Facebook is not an ideal forum for archiving technical conversations and file sharing. I realize that this forum does not get much traffic, but it's a great reference site and all my work is here.

I find myself not having time to maintain or promote it. I know you use it and if you would like to step up and be an admin I’ll let you run it and I’ll keep it going. It’s what I did with the archive, James Notini is doing a great job running it for me.

I don't even know what it takes to maintain such a site, assuming I even have the time to do so.
What do you need to do on a daily basis here? It seems to me that it's mostly self-running.

OK I'm willing to give it a shot. If it becomes too much of a time hog, then I suppose you'll have to shut it down.
Let me know to get set up for this.

Am I supposed to get some kind of notification if there is a task that requires attention?

Also, have you made a final decision about the board's future? I know you made a shutting down announcement on Facebook a few weeks ago which likely is not helping the already sparse traffic...
