Dan, 
I will preserve that history, even if it isn't here on the BBS anymore. I believe Ron and I are of the same opinion - regardless of this BBS continuing, these pieces of Submarine history are priceless. Others may have some of them, but we will not lose them for as long as I am around. Maybe be a different domain name, but they'll stay available. **IF** Ron decides to shut the BBS down, I will preserve these things and give you the links.

Ron,

I can understand why you are considering shutting this website down since no one seems interested in posting any new items.  The problem I have is that my Monthly Mail Buoy Posts contain the following information for individuals who want to link up with the information contained won't have that option anymore.  I don't know if that is a good enough reason to keep it open, but it is your call.  If you do shut this site down, I will have to eliminate these links from all future Mail Buoy editions.  Dan

We used to have 100's of posts/week.  Now zero.  That was a problem when Facebook/Meta came along.
I would like to know if anyone has a major issue with closing this off.
