Is Someone Interested in Assuming the Rogue's Gallery?

If someone is interested in assuming the Rogue's Gallery, please email me at

BFN50Gallery@aol.com

and I will give you download instructions.

It will need a new web home.

I will be deleting it in a few days.

Thanks.

Take care and do come back when you feel like the break is over.

Enjoy your hiatus, Dnvr. Had I the pc skills, I'd gladly help. Hopefully, hear from you soon.

How much time and bandwidth does it take to maintain it? An hour/day, /week, more, or less?

Sorry to see you go.... I hope you enjoy your time off.

You seem like a father to me, too, Dnvr, though you would have been watching "Howdy Doody Show" when you fathered me. Or maybe you were more of a "Webster Webfoot" guy.

Say, Dad, could I borrow the keys to the car tonight?

Only when I update every 6 weeks or so. Otherwise, it just sits there!

Get yer butt back here, Denver. You ain't goin' nowhere.

PS--I checked the official rulebook, and it says, "Once a member has reached age 50, he or she may post in the typeface and color of his or her choice."

Just get back in time to get us onto trainers for those brutally boring winter months. Sooner is better.

Whoa! Did you clear this with Nora yet? We may have to go over your head on this one.

Every woman whom I've met named Nora has been a pretty, outgoing, friendly, and brunette. Interesting that it has worked out like that.

It's just like training. Every once in a while your brain needs a break to recuperate. Have a good one and here's to "many smiles per mile".

Not a frequent poster, but a very frequent reader here. Will miss ya, but sometimes a break is needed. Take the break, relax, enjoy, but please come back soon.

I have greatly enjoyed backing off a bit for a couple of weeks.

I have concluded:


1. The forum does quite well - in fact, amazingly well, without my input.

2. The Rogue's Gallery has become some sort of an anachronism. I will post the last person who has submitted, and will then just let it stay there until it appears time to just fade away. The newbies to the 50+ seem to have no need for it, which is fine. I have absolutely NO desire to push it anymore. Let's let it just fade away.

3. I enjoy reading the posts, but have lost (hopefully) my compulsiveness about being a sort of constant, regular poster. Instead, I shall post occasionally when it seem I have some positive or worthwhile comment to make.

Congratulations, all you 50+'rs I now feel very positive about psychologically "giving up" the forum and fading away as the starter of the forum. That no longer makes any difference.

So, see you around.
