Data Migration Has Been Completed

[Whoops]

What Cormanus said.  In the past I (and others) offered to donate to Guth to offset expenses.  Guth would not accept and always politely refused.  I would gladly donate if you decide to accept them.

I believe this is the proper way I should address you:

MiLord, I appreciate the offer but I am going to decline. It was expensive to get to where we are at now. However, I feel like the financial responsibility is mine. I raised my hand and somewhat knew what I was getting into. The money has left my account, and what is done is done. Let’s let the financial concerns fade into the background. There is no need to bring them up again. Guth and I may share that in common.

At an obligation level, I feel a debt that I am still trying to pay back. Unlike most of you, I measure my tenure on the Forum in months, not years. I joined in July 2024. I do not have hundreds of threads or thousands of posts on my scorecard. I have tried to be thorough and thoughtful with each Thread I submit, hoping the extra effort will help another Forum member. But when the tally is done, I have taken more than I have given. I hope to balance everything out over the coming years.

Cormanus has agreed to partner with me to help mature the new Forum and keep it current and relevant for everyone. He is an Administrator as much as I am. He does not like it when I use the term, but I am glad I have a boss and even more importantly, a great crew to support. Will this Forum ever peak like it did when the CB1100 was in production? No. Can it bring 200 or so Members together to have a laugh, share stuff about a fantastic motorcycle, and keep the Guth Legacy alive? Absolutely.

I will not let you down. You have my word. David

Please drive carefully!  ...and maybe also setup a gMail (or similar) account that has the database, hosting, etc recovery credentials in case of an accident that sends a recovery email to an emergency contact in case you "go offline" for an extended period. It would be a shame to have the admin access lost again considering the work you put into this and the effort involved in rounding everyone up and getting them to migrate.
