I downloaded the site, but Bill has found a supporter, so the site will stay up for another year at least. I was willing to host the Montgomery related content on my site at montgomeryowners.com (with original copyright holder's permission, of course). That was only about 250 MB if you optimized it. Bill has a lot of related content on the site that eats up more disk space, but I was mainly concerned about the content the users uploaded and that I could get clear permission to post.

Bill,
Sorry to see your having to back away from the picture site. You really did a nice job with that.
I wonder, how much space does that all take? Do you know? How tough would it be to move it? Could/would anyone else on the list be willing to maintain it if there was a host for it? It would be a real shame to see all your hard work go to waste.

Will Rogers often said, "There's nothing quite like money in the bank." He went on to say, "I'm not so concerned about the return on my money as I am about the return of my money."

Hi,
The cost to keep it published for the next 12 months will run right at $360.00. There would be no "what's new", "Donations" "Contact me" or "links" page.
With my new project I'll have limited Internet use (E-mail) for the next year or maybe more. This means I wont be able to fix links. In addition; The site photo limit has been reached. In order to continue with more photos I would have to turn all of the Maintenance pages into PDF files. Or, open a sub-site (more money) linked from the current site. Either way, it's not doable.
The site would remain pretty much as it is.
Other ideas have been put forth. Who knows what will occur in the near future.
Bill

Bill, What is the financial burden to maintain the site?I'd like to see it stay active. Any way that is possible? Kendall _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
