The good old daysYou still haven't found your feet in this forum yet have you?
Time to post this again, from the forum's Terms and Conditions which we all agreed to abide by when we first signed up:
https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?help/terms
If this forum is too woke for you, then maybe you should be filling in your time elsewhere?
And for those of us who do have a pretty grounded understanding about the history of robust debate v abuse and it's place on this forum, here's a blast from the past to show that even 13 years ago members were extolling the demise** of "free speech" here:
https://www.silverstackers.com/forums/index.php?threads/future-of-general-discussion-forum.15454/
** is it that we were woke before woke even existed?
I guess not
I guess not
It could be complicated.
No doubt there would be legal requirements that the owners of the forum would be compelled to abide by, the big one I'm thinking in Oz would be the Racial Discrimination Act. Therefore it may be in the best interests of the owners to operate as a company with Directors or something similar should a party seek to take legal action against the joint owners of the forum. It would be messy if the owners were just a loose collection of interested parties no doubt ie where does the buck stop? And of course owning a company comes with extra compliance costs.
The asking price is far from excessive for one person to buy it. I'd suggest hitting him up on FB messenger if anyone is keen. And yes, I know as far as GP goes it's all about life's priorities and he's not been really good at following through with the sale but I'd just keep bugging him here: https://www.facebook.com/SilverStackers
What was the asking price?
How much does he want for it?
It's probably not for me to disclose that info.
I was curious about the sell price too but I haven't contacted him. Sounds much better than asphalt work hehe.
I'm no computer whiz tho and I don't have Facebook which might be a problem.
This is the best PM forum I've been on by far and a good group of people.

Would love to see this site become aussie owned.

Bump.
PM me if you're interested, long time members only as this is not my site and I'm just putting feelers out on behalf of the owner so I don't want to dick around with tire kickers. I can let the owner know if you're keen, tell you how I contact him, probably give you a ballpark figure just to get this show on the road again.
I'm not sure what expertise is required so don't ask me, website design is not my forte, I'm only good at stomping heads online and boring the shit out of people re: economics
. There would be other members that would have a better idea so they are free to chip in here with their opinions.
As the new owner you could replace all the Mods and get a new crew in or if the current mods are happy to continue than you can keep them. It'll be your baby with your rules.

For what its worth, I think the best outcome is for Silver Stackers to remain live and in the hands of community members. My earlier post is genuinely just a failsafe in case it gets to the point where Silver Stackers is no longer accessible.
If Gold Pelican does sell the site, I’d be happy to volunteer IT support to that future owner/s.

Has this generated any interest as of yet?Bump.
