A relevant update given how often the board has been down this week: I did get in touch with Grant and have the contact information for the current owner of AZZ. I have reached out a few times to ask about taking over ownership but have yet to hear back. I've neglected calling him to avoid being too persistent, but will probably give him a ring next week to see if we can get things moving. I'd love for it to be a group ownership with the regulars here with moderators. I'll also get rid of the awful pop-up ads if I can help it. (Is this starting to sound like a political stump speech?)

Some of the pop-up ads, when viewing on my phone, actually cover the entire board so I cannot read the page. I have found that, if I turn my phone landscape, I can read, but that's just stupid to have to play games with phone orientation just to read the page.
ROLL ALONG!!!

I’m in and that includes financial support.

As before, I’d like to help moderate the hockey forum.

I noticed earlier in the basketball season that Kansas St has the exact same website as ours and they didn't seem to have any problems this week. Might be good to get in touch with their owners to see how they manage

I know it has went down many times but I thought this one was it. Thanks for getting it back for now anyway. Hope it can be put in better hands.

I also reached out over email through the WHOIS record to ask about transferring. I didn’t hear back. I’m open to helping if someone else gets traction. First thing I would look at is fixing the ad takeover problem.

I would be in as a part of an ownership group and would welcome the chance to be a moderator again..I was for a time before

I’ve reached out a number of times to ask about purchasing the site and have never gotten a response.
