Not only could a disciple take over for me when I retire, Jim, but more importantly, he could take over should something happen to me unexpectedly. It was only 4 years ago that I was trying to save the Artastic Forum (CSR newcomers can follow the link if they want to know the history) when, as I'm sure you remember, Jon became seriously ill and then passed away. Both the parent site, Underground-Animations.com, and the Artastic Forum were then on autopilot because Jon had no "disciple" or assistant, and because I could not crack his password, I ultimately had to give up on moving AF over here, where I have plenty of spare data bases (it still would have been a difficult conversion). Eventually, because no one was authorized to pay the bills (a friend of Jon's was willing to do so), the host took the site down and AF was lost forever.jimc wrote:Funny that you mentioned a younger disciple to take over when you retire as that is what got you thinking about the database and other things as we were afraid that the old timers (ahem ) would lose their collections and all that spanko history would be lost. So I hope that you do start looking for that disciple that can code; fix our computer problems and of course be on the lookout for the other spanking finds that you have looked for and found to share with the rest of us grateful spankos.

Obviously we don't want to see the same thing happen to CSR. Fortunately, I'm in good health and don't seem likely to depart this mortal vale too suddenly. But when things settle down a little, I will probably throw an ad out here looking for a young person with a strong interest in spanking and at least average technical skills to become my disciple. One good thing is that CSR is not expensive to run - if it were, I couldn't do it! - but there is some time involved, and both this board and the two data bases I created, Comic Spankings and Humorama Spanking Cartoons, require some skill to update and maintain. The other pages on the main site are quite simple, and I could teach anyone how to code them.
