W-Machine Registry - Who can carry the torch?
I launched the site (wmachineregistry.com) back in 2012 and have reached a point where I'm hopeful someone else can take it over. The site never really took off like I had hoped it would, but with that being said, there is a decent amount of pictures and content on there that should provide a solid start for a "reboot". I haven't had the time to dedicate to the site like it deserves, but I'm hopeful someone would be interested in taking it over. I scaled it back to just '70 W-31's last year since that was all I could keep up with, but with the right person taking it over, you could easily add the options and codes for additional years. I'm not looking for money for the site or anything like that - I just don't want to see it go to waste. I think with the right Admin who can dedicate content the site could really be a great resource to the Olds community. If you're interested shoot me a message and I can go over the details with you. The site costs me $14.99/month through the hosting service I use which can be transferred to the new Admin.
For those that are more technical, it's built using Joomla. Adding pictures and articles are incredibly easy to do with just a couple of clicks so even if you're not the most tech savvy user you could figure it out. Also, I'm happy to help support during the transition, but I can't dedicate the time I want to and I'm hopeful someone on here is more willing.

Also glad to hear that too. 
If anyone needs to access the site as it was, just click here:

Takes a while to load, so be patient.

There's a lot of action on the W-31 and '72 X Code sites (both newer, admittedly) on Facebook. Was the registry site ever promoted there to drive traffic? I may start a V Code forum there once I get the newly revised V Code site relaunched.
