I don't mind that Al didn't hand the site over to someone else, instead of shutting it down. Admins have access to the database and to information that moderators and general members don't have, and the people who joined the forum joined with the understanding of who those people would be. I guess if he had made the personal decision of trusting someone from the membership enough to hand it over, then it might be different, but he didn't do that, so I agree his only real choice of handing it over to another admin would have been El-President or PPK. I didn't realize Black Butterfly was an admin.
