I also have inside info as I have friends at UKSC. It's over.
That's just what I already suspected from the first moment I heard of Ricks death via Facebook.
I've warned this forum two times for this.
Refering to Rick's financial problems and his struggle to solve them, I expect that the Catsailor shop will also be shut down.
So I assume that the only way to save this forum is somebody and/or group offering the White family a sack of money and buy this forum.
