It's actually been my intention to pass it off to someone in the future, especially if I end up embarking on a certain venture next year. I thought about asking CamFu awhile back but he's so unrealiable I might as well delete the whole site myself.

I'm just not sure really how to go about it. I own the name, the server account, and the vB license. All or some of those would have to be turned over. The name has to be renewed every year or so, and the vB subscription for upgrades is like $20-30 per year. I paid about $120 or something for the owned license and I'm not sure if I want to just give that away or not. The server is billed quarterly at about $60, but that can be reduced if we reduce the space we are being charged for. The cost will inevitably continue to increase with the database size if we do not start deleting stuff.

If I let someone(s) take over I'd like to know they have a commitment and won't let the site go to crap within a few months. It certainly helps if you have a knowledge of vB 3 and how to fix SQL errors. Of course I knew absolutely nothing when I started this gig.

One alternative to donations would be a subscription plan. vB has a built-in subscription service where users who subscribe can get access to things they would normally need rep or a certain post count for.

Edit: I just found out CamFuBot is taking up 32 MB of SQL space. What a dick!

I agree, but just to be safe we should take a poll or something to see if we should get rid of him.
