RMNF Forum Moving Forward

[Rongo]

Sadly, as many of you have found out by now the Founding Board member and Owner of RMNF, Darryl Boyd passed away Sunday, May 12th. Darryl was instrumental in running this Forum and did a fantastic job. Darryl's passing is of course a shock to us all and we will miss him dearly, but the Forum carries on.

We Administrators are in contact with the family and are respectfully giving them time to grieve & deal with their loss. Soon, we will review with the Family Darryl's wishes for the Forum and respectfully carry them out in the coming weeks. Once we have plans in place we will let you know. I know the Boss had a strong desire for the Forum to carry on, and if that's his true final wish, we Administrators' will make it so.

Personally, this Forum has been a home for me for since 2006. I know I have been off lately and I regret that. Life happens, I let it get in the way and logging in daily fell out of habit. For that I apologize. Sometimes when we lose someone it reminds you what's special in life; And this Forum is a special place to me. I know many of you feel the same way.

So be comforted to know the lights are on as they have always been. We Administrators are here to carry on and give you the Forum as Darryl wanted it to be. Please keep Darryl's Family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time and we will have updates and news in the coming days.

Ron when Jim contacted me About Darryl's passing I was in shock. I haven't been around as much as I used to but this place has always been home for me. You guys have been good to us at gun-deal.com too. Chuck was the first person I met on here when I was first posting links to deals from our site in like 2011. He thought I was selling the stuff until I explained what we do and then we became good friends, talking on the phone from time to time. He came off as gruff on the forums but was great guy and when he passed that was hard, now Darryl. We have a link to this forum on every page of gun-deals in our site friends list. I recently called Jim aka JunkYardDog and told him I talked to Brad, the owner of gun-deals, about this and the circumstances the forum finds itself in facing the possibility of closing down. Brad wrote gun-deals and works in the software industry so he took a look at the site and told me if all else fails he could probably do a backup of the sites data all or in part. I don't know what that entails but I just wanted to let you all know. Jim has my number if you guys think this might be needed. Mike

It's an option for sure. Will be getting in in contact with Darryl's family to find out what options we have. They are busy with more important things at the moment.
