Thread: TD Plan B : Is there life after TD?

With this base of clientele, some whore ads is all you'd need to keep it cash flow positive.

I was thinking more about somehow transferring the database or re-assigning domain so a new admin/ owner can have the keys.

It would be sad if all our posts photos travel and construction stuff was buried deeper.

A functioning search button would be good.

Some people/posters might wonder why Mike never handed over the entire set of keys, for safety measures.

And then, some don’t.

Yes, he kept very tight control on admin functions. Even DD didn't have keys.

^ Yes. Mike kept all control of admin.

I don't post much these days but would like to see Teakdoor continue into the future.

If something can be sorted between a few knowledgeable members I would be happy to contribute my share.

Who's Mike?

The former, now deceased, owner and administrator of Teak Door.

...is the currently undeceased owner and administrator capable of helming the craft to a technologically stable shore...if so, what is he waiting for?...if not, what is he waiting for?...

I'll donate also.

(tax deductible ? )

^^Apparently new owner not interested in the forum administration or passing on the keys.

Does anyone have contact with the owner?

Is the new owner a member here Missy?

...so, the new owner is deadweight, happily collecting Smooci rent but unwilling to reinvest in our obvious need for posting bliss...

Think not LT. I thought was one of Mike's kids.

Anyone has a name let me know.

^ I reckon you would make a great boss Norts.

As good as DD but without the early morning breakdowns!

Imagine receiving Teakdoor forum as part of your inheritance

Odd situation. I agree in my 10+ years being a member I have seen a lot of good house builds and farming information shared. Would be sad to see it go.

But forums come and go. Saw a few outstanding off road US sites take a dive with some really good info. But we all find new sites to gather and share info. That other site TV Is not an enjoyable site. It's a bunch of bickering schmucks who spend all day trying to get smiley faces and likes. Been by it a few times as the only valuable section is the Visa/Immigration. Rest is garbage nonsense IMHO. But in fairness TV is an operated business to make money so strict mod rules apply to keep it clean.....and boring.

If there is a way to transfer ownership of the url TD could be kept running.
Another way I believe would be to start a new forum and move TD content to it.
Far from expert on this but we have a couple members who could sort it.

Would be quite a shame, even tragic, to lose TD archives.....the dog-eared collection that haven't already been mismanaged, deleted and mangled.
Appears to be, as it stands today, that the current mystery admin/owner is hesitant to allow the old veterans run the show - access to the assorted passwords, buttons and bells.
There's no rhyme or reason for the new ownership to be hesitant toward practical tweeks and modification to allow TD a continued development scheme.
