Putting this out there. If mods/admin wish to create a Members Ride/Car diaries section for member who wish to create a diary?
As certain members are putting it in General Chat and some are putting it in Multimedia.

Sorry guys, I'm a terrible admin.

I simply can't find the motivation to work on 6GC any more. My other big site, my girlfriend, and my job consume all of my attention. I'm still as busy as ever, except I sleep a lot less now so I can get everything done. It's 12:41am right now - I have to be up at 4am to finish up some last minute work.

6GC is currently on a stable server along with a couple of my other sites. I have great incentives to keep the server up, as well as a responsibility to at the very least keep this site up. That's why when it's down, I do fix it. When the chat was bringing down the server, I had to remove it. I owe it to you guys to make sure the awesome amount of knowledge and community that this site contains doesn't disappear.

About the chat, it's a very old piece of software, and it's written in a way that it isn't efficient, especially given the technologies available today. I should have re-written it, but I just do not have the motivation and spare time to do so. Realistically, it probably won't come back online - the server cannot handle it and re-writing it is a ton of work. About other feature requests, again, I don't have the spare time and drive to work on this site, or several of my other sites.

I'm sorry. I don't know what to do. I've got to sleep, but I'll think about this...

Chris, none of us care about the broken chat feature. We just want a system admin/owner to be around to make even the simplest site requests that the community asks for (adding a new forum, or promoting mods or whatever). The type of stuff that takes 5mintues of an interested administrators time to do. With you being not interested anymore, it prevents the community from growing.

I know you promise to pay the bills and keep the lights on, but honestly a lot of us are worried that the guy paying the hosting bill has zero interest and engagement in the site, one day it could just go away without notice.
