One more question. What will happen to the FB page with 17000 followers? Will it be renamed? Will it be sold to the most attractive local lady with a skin products business? Or taken over by Logos and become the FB page for (ex) males identifying as females nipple display?

Though I've never been a K440 forum Member, I am one of the longest posting Guests. In my time, I have many dozen posts and may well have started a couple of dozen threads - over 6 of which had replies. I throw ALL this status behind Pedros as the new Forum owner.
... Fine if Scoffer wanted to do it too.
Alexandra feels sad to pass on a burden, one with very low chances of a return to full health. OK, the days of it's glory ARE long gone, but so what? If people have a right to old age and decrepitude, why not forums? Before you say it has been struggling in the gutter too long already, that a dignified death is preferable, I wish to recall the Monty Python scene 'Bring out yer Dead", The forum isn't quite dead yet. Me thinks it wants to go for a walk!

The once ribald vibrant and helpful forum is fucked.
Barely any new threads of substance for....months....years.
No front page stories
No one can assist with basic info when new posters ask.
The only helpful poster is the kiwi.
Stop flogging a dead horse and Let it die like the syphilis riddled whore that it has become.

Will the site continue to have a ghost existence online, rather like the twin girls in the Overlook Hotel?

Overlook Hotel:
"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."
But Seriously. If K440 remains online, even if visitors rarely post, it still has value. Rather than ONLY the twin murdered girls in the Overlook Hotel, it can BE the Overlook. Visitors can hop on plastic big wheel tricycles and cruise the joint, just like Danny did in the film. Mostly empty, sure, but looking back through time, plenty of strange and surprising stuff to encounter as you wheel down the hallways, early steadycam trotting behind you.
Funfact: Having a beer near the huge fireplace in the hotel lodge on Mt. Hood, I almost beaned someone in the head when I elbowed a glass ashtray off a 2nd floor table and it smashed to bits on the ground floor paving stones perhaps 20 feet below. The waitress said it happens all the time.
If K440 is no more, 'all these memories will be lost like tears in the rain.'
(Film quote?)
