[QUOTE="TallSmoke, post: 55419, member: 616"] I used to manage AOL forums for a living back in the early 2000's. Right from my home office. I managed three paid staff who worked in their homes and 250 volunteers who got free AOL accounts for helping. This was back when using chat rooms and message boards was HUGE and wildly popular. Getting folks to adhere to the TOS and handling the various complaints and what not was always the biggest headache. It certainly isn't an easy task, especially on a popular forum where hundreds of people participate. Whatever the reason SF is closing down for (I'm not a member, have no clue) I can imagine that if it is a big place one man would grow weary after a while if he didn't have a few folks to rely on. I wonder if he would sell it, like someone mentioned, to another user who has been there for a while and knows the forum? Better to make a few bucks from selling it than closing it outright and make nothing for all your effort. [/QUOTE]
