I am only really interested in outside funding if it can create a site where it can stay up even if something catastrophic happens to me.
From an uptime perspective, this forum is a one man show unfortunately, and if I am hit by a bus we have about 60 days to move IMO. I have some contingency plans with some devs I trust, but nothing is 100%.
There are issues that I would like to make sure are covered like
- Choosing a host I am sure is not going to go under
- Making sure the site and domain name can be continually paid for
- Making sure the underlying software does not get updated around us (potential security issue)
- Something that does not require an administrative contact (hard to do for legal reasons)
If I come across any way to do the above I'll let you guys know.
