you should get ridemonkey.wok while its available
all i was thinking was depending on who owns the url, could be easy to set the nameservers to the new host once an alternate forum is running
For real. I just mostly quit Facebook...
I'm down to help in any way I can, if we are able to pick this thing up and move it to a new server or whatever. I have some database migration/forum management experience, though I'm sure you have that sort of thing dialed in. Agreed that losing the two decades of the worthwhile (and the worthless) content would be a travesty.
I would argue that RIPs rocky mountain thread, the I've gone raw, and crippled with respect are important cultural landmarks and should be retained by the library of Congress.
Sure. But we'd need cooperation for that. If AMI isn't willing to divest Ridemonkey (or are asking a too-high price), it means they want to maintain the traffic and property value, so they're not going to point the domain anywhere.
Thanks for the offer. I'm very comfortable with the site & database migration if we're given the opportunity, but if any wrinkles come up I'll definitely reach out.
I've gotten a lot of offers for various levels of help - technical and financial - and it's nice to know that something I've poured a lot into over nearly two decades means something to the people who hang out here.
I for one, am ready to accept @binary visions into my heart as our personal lizard and overlord.
...or at least a T-shirt.
The immediate question is what about RMSS
RMSS will live on.
i was just thinking its almost time for the first thread....RMSS will live on.
“Haven’t you always wanted a monkey?”
Minor (unsatisfying) update: the AMI technical team has been instructed that, for now at least, the forums and website(s) are to be maintained and supported.
Still looking for something more concrete.

Thanks for the update, BV!
Any chance you can talk to my technical team and convince them to not use Bootstrap classes in an entirely ineffective way, and to stop putting unnecessary markup into our application, and generally quit fucking up our design?

Sketchy good news is better than sketchy bad news or no news.
But while we have momentum, lets all pitch in and buy a monkey.
I'm sorry, you're looking for a developer.
I'm an infrastructure/security architect who knows enough about databases and scripting to be really, amazingly effective at fucking things up when I try to help.
I think you misunderstood... the developers are the problem. I need someone to tell them to stop fucking it up.
Seriously though, thanks for keeping this ship sailing... at least for now.
I'm pretty good at wrangling developers when they screw up security. If you want me to talk about development best practices, though, you'd best be pretty sure they're not going to call my bluff and start asking questions.I think you misunderstood... the developers are the problem.

My code is liable to contain things like, while 1 = 1 and sleep 10.
Sleep? Yea let's listen to some sleep
any updates?
I just heard back this morning that AMI's sports arm is currently not interested in selling any of its brands.
No discussion of price, just not interested in selling. Said they'd contact me if that changed.
So... not what I wanted to hear, but at least it sounds like they're maintaining the brands in the near-term, which suggests again that the websites won't disappear overnight.

Thanks, BV!
me too!
If we're going to lose RM, a day's notice would be nice so I can ban the people I don't like before I miss the chance.
I do have about 1.03 nice things to say
Well, I think all you guys are swell.
There is likely some easy explanation for this, but Bike had a new article today (has today's date)? Don't see it on the Bike website, but it's linked on the upper right of the RM front page:
www.bikemag.com
I thought everyone was gone, effective immediately?
