well just got his e mail back...he said he has too much time and effort into the codes he made for the site and feels reluctant to just hand them over to someone else... =[

heres the E mail...

-----------------------------------------------------------Due to the amount of code and time invested in writing it, I'm notwilling to distribute or hand the code over to someone else. Thanks foryour concern.

Have a good one,

Hey,You shut down =[But it shouldnt have happenedWould you be willing to pass the site on to someone else with more timeon their hands?I would be able to maintain the site daily and have web development backgroundIf you'd consider me as the new webmaster i'd allow you moderation as'founder' of the sitethat way it will be still running as well getting very occassionalupdates. I was actually in the middle of working on a FAQ page for thesite so that you could link the 'library' button to the FAQ geocitiessite i was building.

Please let me know of what will happen. I care for that site a lot asI've learn a lot from it and other people.

wtf? all that bull **** because he doesnt think he'll get credit for it? what about the domain? what is to become of everything that was ever on there? saved to some random zip disk that will lay somewhere across his room? i dont get it. if he put all that time into writing the html then why not let it go to good use and let someone else take care of it?

precisely... i offered to have him be original moderator and title of FOUNDER of the web site... basically i do all the work.. which i dont mind so long as its in good shapei think he's selfish... if it REALLY was pride for nissan he would want the site to survive no matter what... but instead its all about him and if he goes down.. so does the site

I use to post over there as khajja8, it was the first 240 board I ever joined :)

Then I found here, well the old site but still, and I would look at both. Then nissan-240sx.com become nothing but a fourm with 10 post on the first page all asking what is the sr's max hp or what can I do to go fast, or sr vs ka threads etc so I just stopped paying attention to it. It was a nice place though
