I'm pm'd Mat with the concerns that have both been posted in this thread and pm'd to me. The following was his response:

We'll see what happens. One of the possibilities is to make it sponsored again. We'd let sites bid for that. Various things are being discussed, but I have no definite answer for you.

Just tell people that we are looking at different options and that the users needs actually are not just being ignored. You can also tell them that the June 30 closing date is simply the earliest date that some change may occur. It won't necessarily end on that day.

For those affiliates out there considering sponsoring the forum I will make this offer public and has already been mentioned to Mat. If you wish to sponsor the forum I will offer to continue modding it if you wish. Of course that is entirely up to a sponsor. One of the biggest complaints when the forum was sponsored before was that the forum was biased. Although it never affected me I could see where affiliates could say that. If you wish for me to continue modding it then that should take care of that complaint but there is no obligation to take me up on the offer.

My only compensation would be that the first round of drinks are on you if we should ever meet up. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Based on this and Matt's post, and rakereduction offering their help to keep this forum going why did you say in today's deleted post it is closing. It seems to me the stars are aligning to keep this helpful and interesting forum open. And btw you do a great job moderating. ty.
