Probably nothing but this makes me think of something interesting: whether you can actually transfer the confidential informations of users with it. Techincally you shouldn't be able to do it by simply selling randomly but I don't think this has been adressed anywhere for forums.
Tony wouldn’t... is the answer. He has planned for if one day he can’t maintain it himself anymore and who would take over at that time. You’d have to ask @Tony more about it directly however. I *can* tell you with absolute certainty that he would never put the user’s privacy at stake.
It's not about user privacy, it's about how any regulation of the transfer of information of a supposed 'clientele' doesn't seem to exist (at least as far as I know). Don't make me accuse someone of putting privacy in danger or something.
He’s turned down offers before and likely to do so in future. I don’t see him selling, no. I was speaking more about retirement, and that’s a while off. I think (?) that Tony makes more money from other things although NU has quite a lot of traffic last I knew.
He made the site to give readers a place to go, including himself. Id describe this more as a passion project than his main life. I do know he wouldn’t give it to just anyone even if he retires from NU/NUF one day.
I don't honestly recall much cases like this anyway. Usually it's the company behind the website that changes ownership, not the website itself (totally forgot about this when I was talking of transferring data).
