First up.. this is not a call for donations.

Without going into the personal details as to why: I don't have the energy to give this place the attention it needs, and I'm no longer willing to cover the majority of running costs.

I don't have a fully fledged solution to this, and don't have the energy to come up with one. The best I can come up with is I hand the reins over to Nath, and some sort of community funding is set up to cover costs.

If anyone knows of above board methods to establish a crowd funded piggy bank for something like this, I'm all ears.

Lodion, first, thank you. You've shown me a genuinely far healthier side of the internet. A side I never knew existed up until just over three years ago. Thanks to you setting up this instance, I've learned a lot more than I ever thought I would about the web and social media.

Secondly, you've created a community here, i've always thought it'd be good to see you engage more socially, but understood you were very engaged in different ways and perhaps not interested in that side of things anyway, fair enough. But, for my piece at least, I hope you stick around and enjoy more of the social aspect of this community you've been so instrumental in creating. :)

Nath, I hope the transition goes smoothly. I always understood funding was a quiet issue in the background, and I will be there to help with costs. Lets make the funding of this place a sustainable aspect that you don't have to worry about.

Any other help I can jump in to aupport you with, you know where to find me. :)
