Is there any way we can save this forum? It's the best resource for these cars that I have found and contains lots of info and friendships that will be lost. What are our options? A fee? Advertizing? Someone new to take it over? I don't know but I do know that without it our car wouldn't be near as good as it is today and I bet we aren't the only one.
The end of this forum would be sad indeed. Realistically however, I doubt many of the older guys have the computer skills to take it over (I certainly don't) and the younger guys who do probably don't have the time so it may be inevitable. As far as I know most forums are run by volunteers and it is a thankless task that is becoming ever more difficult because of the morons who seem to enjoy doing anything they can to disrupt things. That said if someone with the technical skill is willing to step up and keep things going I would be glad to kick in for any costs associated with keeping the website going.
I have several computer nerd millennial people in our family that could do it but they are not necessary antique car lovers. Since this is sort of a private forum how much maintenance does it take? I know the FB forums fight constantly to keep spammers out but I don't know how much of a issue it is here. We have some time to figure it out. I would volunteer some time and money to do my part. To be honest my main passion is tri-five Chevys but our Plymouth is important to me too and this is a great resource.
