All very good thoughts. As a 'new guy' here, I'm a little hesitant to insert my opinions but here goes.
Myself and a couple other guys own and operate a not-for-profit, no advertizing metal shaping site: http://allmetalshaping.com We've had numerous discussions between the three of us regarding what happens if one or more of us gets hit by the proverbial 'beer truck', or decides to move on, or whatever....stuff happens.
The gist of it is this:
- Our ISP (Internet Service Provider) does daily backups.
- All three of us have the passwords although I am the primary admin.
- Periodically, every week or so, I perform a backup and copy it to my home PC.
- Regularity, I test the backup by doing a restore into a offline forum. Backups that have not been tested can be a disaster. Another metalshaping site lost THREE YEARS of posts and content because they did not verify their backups were good. Think what loosing three years worth of posts and photos would mean to the GMC world?
- While I am the primary admin, all of us have enough knowledge and access to hire someone to restore the site in the case something 'bad' happens.
So what happens when we all three are gone? We have an agreement that the folks who are left have control over the site, they can sell it, give it away, close it down, whatever. We have an intellectual property statement that says that the original poster OWNS his own content. They can edit, remove, etc as they desire.
If we decide to turn the site over, we would give everyone notice and allow folks to remove any content they wish. Once new management takes it, all bets are off.
The cost of running our site, which is pretty large, is about $500 a year. We are not compensated for our time but do it to provide a resource for folks to talk about Metal Shaping. We have a similar level of passion for metal shaping as GMC folks have about GMCs.
Just a few thoughts.
