I started Venturerider.org, I don't know, maybe 15 or so years ago. It has been my baby for all these years and I've met some truly amazing people through our club. The fact is though, it may be time to pass it on. As many of you know, I have struggled with some vision issues, mostly cancer in my right eye, for many years now. My vision is now getting bad in my good eye. I am having a harder time seeing and it seems to be progressing quickly. I have an appointment yesterday and they have referred me to a retina specialist,. There is an as yet undiagnosed problem with my good eye and it doesn't look good.
All that being said, I think it's probably time to find somebody to take over this site. I am looking for somebody with some website experience that understands how to keep this thing going. I am also looking for somebody who understandss and shares my values for what this site represents. If I find the right person, then I will turn it over completely. That means transferring the domain name and everything about the site. I would stay on as a member and a consultant if you want me to as long as possible.
This is a huge decision for me but one that I know must be considered. My next appointment isn't until the miiddle of September but I feel that I need to get this discussion started.
I had an opportunity to sell this site a few yards ago for pretty big money but made the deciosn to not do so. I still don't want to sell it and to be honest, it is no longer worth wait it once was. But I would rather give it to somebody who shares my vision of what it is. Please PM me if you are interested.
