@forwill I agree with you - I feel I've gotten more than my money's worth also - I have no complaints - rather maybe a somewhat naive belief that AX will be back and in the meanwhile David can hold the fort. For clarification, I was/am mainly referring to Jockular's post "1st get us subscribers to stay, then deal with sponsors. Maintain existing models, get more chat going. Not easy, but should be possible to get MA “rebooted” in some way." I was hoping to offer a little moral support by saying "this subscriber is not going to jump ship just because of some rough waters." Of course only Tom knows the severity of the situation to its fullest extent and I'm sure David will do his best in the meanwhile.

@forwill More of my two cents...I don't need any apologies or long explanations....I've said on many occasions that I feel I've got more than my money's worth here. Everyone has been very gracious and generous with information that has opened new investment ideas and opportunities for this "some college" educated old man. If Tom cannot continue with the website or needs more time to deal with whatever he's going through he should say so. No explanations or apologies are expected from me, just some word on what I can expect as a paid subscriber.

@Bruce I don't know how David can be more clear. Tom has "disappeared off the face of the earth" or is in a "comatose state". It must be VERY difficult for David to divulge this information and I'm sure he never would have if he wasn't in an impossible situation. Personally, my subscription auto-renewed a few days ago and I'd appreciate it if Tom would communicate his intentions for this website.

@JockUlar I agree. I am willing to have a little patience and stick with this site in hopes of a "reboot." I think the old adage "Keep it simple stupid" would apply here. Redefine your goals with the strengths and resources you have, but make them realistic. Stimulate subscriber input by tossing out some ideas, offer some brief updated updates and don't hold off because you are afraid of providing "imperfect" analysis. From what I have seen here - the group are mature investors who do their own DD and take personal responsibility for their investment decisions. Just my 2 cents worth.

@Zurbo Zurbo, once you have the books in hand, it should be possible in your area to find a good bookkeeper who can help you get on top of the bills. There should be people available who can help with the myriad of admin. tasks that have piled up. (part-time basis). retired folk who follow mining ? single moms who need income, intellectual stimulation? 1st get us subscribers to stay, then deal with sponsors. Maintain existing models, get more chat going. Not easy, but should be possible to get MA "rebooted" in some way. Anyone else have ideas on this?

@forwill That would be a sad day. You guys had something very positive and unique going here.

@Zurbo Zurbo, I can't imagine you HAVEN'T flown over and beaten on his door. You're running a BUSINESS together. And sometime biz partners have to meet physically. Especially when things go wrong. When a key man can't function, you have to do something ABOUT it. Can you phone people you both know on the West coast? Does he live alone? in a cave? no spouse? no roommate? If all else fails, send the police over there if you can't afford a plane ticket. How do you know he's still alive? Jox

@Zurbo I'm assuming that at some point soon, the MA website will disappear due to unpaid expenses?

@Bruce Also from my side the best to both of you, and to this community. Not knowing the why, there should be some light at the end of the tunnel (and its not a train!!). Gold WILL go to 10,000 minimum after the system reset, so even though we are all decimated, it will get better. I will keep my membership, but Tom, come on! Today will seem far away in 6 months time!

@Zurbo Sorry to hear about that also. Hopefully you can see some resolution soon to this situation. I know we would all love to see Tom back in the saddle again here on MA. Thanks for standing in the gap in the meanwhile. I for one, will continue to wait patiently and pray for a positive outcome for both of you.
