Bringing Cascadeclimbers into the future

[olyclimber]

I just had someone offer to buy this site. I didn’t get as far as how much or anything like that but it was a real approach to buy it.  By someone who runs online communities in other spaces.  I thanked him, his approach was genuine and I think it’s possible his group could run this community in a thoughtful way.

But I turned it down. This site is not for sale. At least not by me.

When a site is bought and sold the community becomes a product. There is then a need for the community to turn a profit somehow.

i have a different vision, of making this site a nonprofit organization that benefits our community and those adjacent to it. That gives an option online for people to connect and share where we are not the product and are not being mined for our data or to be fed directly into the AI machine.

But I can’t do this on my own. So if you or don’t you know is interested in helping please reach out.  I’ll share more of my vision here but I’ll also listen, particularly to active members of the community.  This is not mine, this ours.
