My apologies. My work and more than a few health problems have kept me distracted. The server that RR sits on goes dark at midnight Monday. The old fee of $320 a month that it has cost for the last year is going up to $350.00, and I couldn't afford the old monthly rate, much less the new one. It's simple economics, and I could not afford to keep much of my web operations online. I have moved Capitol Hill Blue and Blue Ridge Muse to a smaller web hosting service that cannot, unfortunately, handle online bulletin boards. I looked at other web hosts, and they have strict regulations on BBs that I felt would not allow RR to operate in a reasonably good environment.
RR needs an upgrade in its operating software, which also costs money. I appreciate the offer of financial help, but I cannot ask anyone to assume the costs that I feel are needed to keep this thing going. Unless, someone has a better ID, I will put the site on "hold," make a dopy of all the files and databases, and hope that there is a way to bring it back down the line.
