Estate planning

Post by Admin1 »

Hello All,

I am completing my estate planning and want to ensure that this board does not fall prey to the same fate as Buczone.com when the owner ghosted the board with no one to take over.

If you are interested in being left the board in my estate planning you will need to be at least proficient in PHPbb and then I will need the following from you via PM

Your email address so I can send you an NDA - you will need to fill it out and snail mail it back with a notarized signature.
It will also need to include:
Your actual name
Address
Phone number
Social security number

There is zero chance you will be doxxed. I was in the service with one of the highest security clearances there is. That is the only assurance I can give you to take my word that your identity will be safe with me and my attorney.

Please post in this thread that you are contacting me, as I am rarely on the board and mostly attend to the back end.

Are you saying as of right now you cannot send or receive DMs?

Can we just expedite this entire process and hand the keys over to @Kress ?

He's a lawyer, therefore understands law and confidentiality.
He's middle of the road politically, therefore relatively unbiased.
He's a lawyer, therefore financially able to hire any necessary technical assistance required.
He's been here since the beginning, therefore actually cares about our little community of Buc Fan misfits.

Kress!

I love this little community and would ordinarily say I'd be honored, but there's one main flaw:

Yeah, not so much. The only reason I even know those letters get mashed together like that is because they're in the header at the top of this page.


If we're @ing people for potential interest, my first thoughts went to:
@Primeminister
@Rocker
@Zarni
@Cheb
or @Bootz

Flattered, but I wouldn't know the first thing about running a forum. I also couldn't pick PHPbb out of a lineup. I would defer to folks more competent than myself.

We could chip in of course, but let's not pretend this is a real roadblock, you cheap bastard.

Irony is a mobius strip.

I would be willing to (re)take the responsibility of keeping this community going. But I ain't sending shit, my details are readily available to anyone that can use the search function. And LOL at an NDA.

I know who you are. The NDA is for the protection of all parties going forward. And the SS# and notarized signature is required as part of the estate planning. If it is a too heavy of a lift for you, I get it.

And yes, I take all of your prior hard work, energy investment and time investment and all of my current hard work and the future of this board exceedingly seriously.

From my understanding, this community has been through quite a bit and deserves nothing less.

Re: Estate planning

we could figure out a community solution to this.

How much does it cost to host it? The server costs, all that stuff.

I have no problem with ownership. Even if I have to delegate the management. I know I have a reputation for being a little crazy, but like most of you, I’ve been here since the original board. When I was 15 years old. It’s been 20 years for me. I’d like another 20+ more.

I think since Rocker put all this together in the first place, if he is willing to take it over via Admin 1’s estate planning, then that is a great idea should anything happen to Admin1. He already knows the back end and the issues with the board so that makes the most sense to me.

Course he could have been a lot more appreciative of admin1 stepping in to assist when the board was at risk of being shut down (when he and Mooze made the decision to step away) instead of dogging them, but <shrug> that is just Rocker. For the most part the good outweighs the dickness.

Dickness? Some people have no appreciation.

@Rocker Thank you for once again stepping up to the plate to offer your assistance.

If mgmt has any need of tech assistance, I have the web dev connection for you.

This was my take. I cannot fathom handing over SSN for a message board. Maybe I’m just far less trusting than most people. I agree that you could be great as the Estate guy just in case though.

I'm not gonna beg.

But if we're being honest here, I probably make the most sense.

Am I rough around the edges? Absolutely. I'm also the guy that built this thing from the bottom up, navigated some extremely troubled waters, and endured some pretty heinous shit to make sure this site and community stayed up and running.

This is the last I'll speak on this publicly. Yall have survived with and without my hand on the wheel.

My number and email are available.

I will be reaching out @Rocker


For the rest of you- when an asset is left to someone and they cannot be found by their address, then the SS# is how they find them. I hope to be around for a while so this issue could be 20 years from now.
