So, the Vent went offline for a bit and I had some not-so-informative holding page up in the meantime that mentioned new "owners." So, here's the long overdue explanation of what was going on and what happens next...
I sold the name and the domain to some interested parties with an agreement that I would stick around for administrative purposes AND that I wouldn't disclose to whom I sold the name/domain. There were quite a few interested parties who believe in the site and what we do here that were bothered by the nonsense that happened last season when the site went offline. They approached me and offered to take over the site to keep it running, meaning that I would be less actively involved in the day-to-day and the financial details. Of course, that also frees me up to be more candid without it affecting the site. My "administrative" duties are pretty much relegated to keeping the software up to date and fending off the spambots. Outside of that, I'm mostly just another participant.
HOWEVER, because GHSA Cheerleading seems to be painfully political, many people have reservations in regards to being open about their financial involvement. So, to keep all parties safe and happy, I've agreed to keep our benefactors identities secret.
SHORT VERSION: The site will stay running for a while thanks to anonymous folks who support the Vent and find value in the civil discourse that takes place here.
