I have a somewhat different take that I've mostly kept to myself. While I applaud and and support those like Tommy and others who have stepped up with offers to get involved in keeping this site going, as well as enjoy the technical insights from members like 2bjshelbys; I find it very difficult to have anything but appreciation for Brent and the fact that in spite of all of the difficult realities discussed and acknowledged in these threads; he actually keeps soldiering on, patching up the site and keeping it running.
Surely this must be one tiresome, costly and thankless pursuit with no obvious benefits that I can see other than the pure love of cars and dedication to the community of enthusiasts. Putting myself in his shoes, it can't be very encouraging to read some of the posts ragging on him for not being able to always keep the site in perfect working order and I'm just surprised (and happy) that he keeps it running at all. He could (and I'm sure most would) just say screw it and walk away.
I don't want to go as far as using the word "ingratitude" - I get that we all want a smooth-running site - but I believe some expressions of appreciation and gratitude for Brent and his efforts would go a long way towards keeping Club Cobra alive. After all - Brent doesn't owe any of us a Cobra community forum for us to enjoy and I for one am happy that he's done it and keeps on doing it in spite of all the difficulties and challenges.
