Can someone fix this broken website please?

Last time we heard directly from Brent was over 8 months ago. His message was along the lines of "I'm aware of the issues and I'm working to resolve them." We haven't heard a word since.

Perhaps more than most, I have a huge sense of appreciation and gratitude to this forum and its members (and its owner), as well as a very deep appreciation of the immense depth and scope of the information stored within this site. This forum simply can't be lost to owner disinterest and driven to oblivion.

Again, and I say this with full respect for and appreciation of Brent and this forum that he developed, I just don't get the current state of affairs here. It's beyond crystal clear to me that for whatever reason, Brent has completely and totally lost interest in this forum. There are persistent operating issues that never seem to cease, members constantly pleading for repairs that never get made, ads for companies that haven't existed in years never changing, an owner who never even logs in to see how things are going and addressing the members, and the list goes on and on and on. These shortcomings as well as many more leave only one possible conclusion, which is that there is absolutely zero chance that Brent has any interest in maintaining this site anymore.

Given all this, I can't for the life of me understand why he doesn't engage with the members who have approached him and just sell the place to someone who's interested in more than just letting it die on the vine due to disinterest and neglect. I simply don't understand it. It's an "I don't want it, it's a hassle to me now, I have no time and interest in it anymore, but no one else can have it either" situation. It's very sad to see, and way beyond my ability to understand.

Has anyone actually physically spoken to Brent in the last year or so? I can't imagine what an owner similar to Ryan, the owner of the H.A.M.B, could possibly turn this place back into. Yes, I know forums are a so called "dying breed", I know we're all getting older, I've heard that Cobras aren't popular like they once were, etc. I've heard it all. And yet the H.A.M.B is absolutely flourishing in a market that they say the exact same things about.

There is hope, and there is absolutely a market. What's missing is an owner who shares that hope, and who believes in the market and has an interest in developing the market and this site. Brent once was a great example of that owner. Clearly, for whatever reason, that has changed. I hope he will step up and pursue a transfer of the site to someone else who will take this site to the next level.
