I have asked the YUKU help desk to provide information on transferring ownership of the board. Here is what I sent them.

Ticket ID:	XEN-927165
Department:	Ownership Transfer
Full Name:	Delta Cougar
Email:	lee4byu@frontiernet.net
Priority:	Medium

Owner of BYUFAN died.

I'm a member of BYUFAN and the owner died on 10/15. The members of BYUFAN would like to keep the message board going. How do we go about getting the board moved to someone else?

I hope no one minds that I have asked. I'm not trying to take over. Just trying to make sure we don't lose the board. Some time in the future we may need to take action on some outsider who is bent on causing trouble. I want to make sure we can keep the board at least as good as it is.

Is there anyone here that is nerdy enough to run this thing? If there isn't a real good nerd on the board I guess I could manage to screw thing up some now and then. Maybe I can get my son-in-law, a SUU Information Systems degree holder to join us and to take care of the board. Though he says he hates doing it at work and at home too. But there shouldn't be much work. Al has this thing set up well as it is.

PS I see I screwed up already. My full name is Joseph Lee Tanner. Not Delta Cougar. I wonder if my wife would mind becoming Mrs. Delta Cougar for real???

Go Cougars!!!!

Lee, I'm a bit of a techno-nerd myself, and I'd be happy to support the board in any way that is needed. I also love it here and I don't want to see the friendships we've all developed here go away. So if there's nobody else who would like to take ownership of the board, I'll throw my hat into the ring. I'm not sure what is needed to keep this thing going, but I'll be happy to contribute some time to make it happen.

Well I got a reply. YUKU said they have sent the request to their legal department. They will make a good faith to contact the original owner before transferring ownership. So now we wait for the legal beagles to do their best to mess things up.

It maybe a good idea to make a list of name and email addresses so that we loose the board we can start a new one and get notification to everyone as to where to go for the new board if we need to go that way.

Go Cougars!!!!

Sorry that I have been so busy the last few days, and really have not checked in on the board lately. Yesterday for example, there was a "Merit Badge Fair" that I took some Scouts to, and straight from there I took my son to his football game (with him changing into his inform in the van while I drove back to Weiser). After the game I backed up (DVR are great) the BYU game and watched it and around 9pm my daughter needed picked up from her all day band competition. By the end of the day I was just whipped...
Today after church we went to my sisters (in Middleton) for my mothers 83rd birthday party, after getting home I ran into the church to do "Church Lock-up". Even though I wanted to go to bed I decided to check the board, because it had been few days since I had been on the board.
Like I said in the other post, my computer still remembers Big Al's password. But Lee or Ken were the ones I was thinking would be good choices for taking over the board in Al's stead. Also, I have know problem being a back up plan...

Lee, it sounds like you're making some progress there. I hope we can still keep the board as is. As I said before, I'm happy to take over the ownership of the board, unless someone else would like to do it. I'm in favor of starting a new board either on Yuku or somewhere else, assuming Yuku declines changing the ownership of the board. Lee, just keep me posted on what happens once Yuku decides.

Both Lee and Ken I just logged on as Al and was able to make both of you Admins and gave you every thing that was available to give you. So maybe you can play around some to see if can improve the board (like skins or ect...). Last night or I guess it was early this morning that I was trying to make some adjustment with the skin and front page (titles ect...) and didn't have a lot of luck. I did manage to change the "Discussion Areas" to "True Blue fans Discussion Areas-- In Memory of Al Smith" on the front page, but it is still not quite what I wanted but it was a start of an idea I had to try to remember who put forth the work to get us this board to discuss all things BYU.

One thing I almost changed last night was post per page from 10 to 20 or 25, but decided to see how all of you felt about it before I did it. I like it with a least 20 post per page, because it I just hate going to page after page.

Thanks for keeping this alive! Although I seldom post, I look forward to the mature, sensible analysis that the members bring to this board.

I think 20 per page would be nice.

I set it for 20 last night, just to see how we would like it. As for me I really like in the 20 range per page and it seems pretty nice not having to go t o second page to read this post (#13).
