Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
You simply don't understand the logistics of what it takes to make a website like this possible.
If you read what I wrote, I told you that I have owned and run a website with tens of thousands of members.
Fair cop but the chances of you actually understanding the sheer logistics of starting a website primarily based on a forum and moderating users for 20 years is zero.
It's fantastic but I still think people underestimate that its a non profit and eventually, the will to go on will die with the owner unless there is money to be made from it. I'm just offering advice,
