I would enjoy hearing from other members here on All SciFi so we could discuss the future and costs of keeping All SciFi alive.
Other than here, I can be contacted via Facebook & Messenger, or email:
Facebook: Wade V. Corbeil (my profile picture is a Black Labrador)
Email: WADEVC@YAHOO.COM (put All SciFi as the title please)

I don't know how we'd do that since no one seems to have the account info.

Thats an issue, and a shame.
I would hate to see this place go away. |

Is this website going belly-up?  |

| There's been zero activity on the board since Bruce Cook passed away nearly five months ago. Frankly, I think it may be time to pull the plug. At least the board is archived on the Wayback Machine so we can re-read our old posts and enjoy our witty banter and repartee. |

Not zero activity, but it's been very very low.
I have tried a few posts with little activity.
Bruce kept this place alive.
The situation, as I understand it, is Bruce was the only one
who had admin rights on the board and now that he has passed no one can take over.
Very sad. |

Was Bruce Cook the owner? If so, perhaps a family member can turn over the operation of the forum to someone else. |

The site is not entirely on the Wayback Machine. The crawls don't seem to have grabbed all the pages.
I decided to scan ICANN for the board info. It reads:

Since the domain registration date was only weeks after Bruce's passing, he may have paid it beforehand or had it set to autopay. If whatever bank account or whatever that pays for that has been shut off, it's likely the domain will evaporate next January 28th. I obviously don't know how the site is hosted.

Yes, it looks like either Bruce covered a couple years ahead, or an autopay went through on Jan 1, 2025.
