Thanks to all who reached out to provide constructive ideas about keeping the forum available to all. There will be changes made.
1st order of business : I heard more than once about users who don't participate. You don't need to signup to just read the forum. therefore, all accounts not used to post for the past 400+ days will be deleted. This won't affect anyone active at all.
Next: a good compromise was discussed on the site at least sustaining itself. More to come on that shortly (excellent idea to 1 member and our IT contractor).
Each member is, was, and always will be responsible for what they contribute. I sought out former people who were here when the site was launched, and they concur this status existed then as it does now.
Thanks to forum members from NY, PA, MA, DE, OH, IN, IL, ME, and FL for assisting. We didn't hear from any CA folks and only 1 or 2 from Canada, but look forward to later down the road. NO CONTRIBUTION WHICH HELPS THE SITE WILL BE REJECTED W/0 PROPER CONSIDERATION!
Enjoy the weekend. Sire stake galore and Championship meet at Red Mile on the horizon. $2,000,000 KYCC Sunday
