I am sorry to hear this but I understand. I wish to thank you for all
your years of holding the archive (and more) together. I don't think we
would have much of a community today if it was not for your
time/effort/abilities.

I wish I could help out with this. I suppose I could take over the
domain name, but unfortunately I don't have the resources to take over
the archive itself. If I did, I would do so in a heartbeat. And it
would probably be better if the same person that takes over the servers
does so with the domain keeping both together. But if the new host does
not want to take the domain as well, I offer my help in that regard.
