I have found a great resource that can help RFF grow and keep it running the way it is. Stephen Gandy from CameraQuest.com has assumed ownership of RFF and promises to keep things on track. This is great news. I can now relax a little. But wait, I am not going away! I will still have the same roles and responsibilities as before! When I started RFF, I had no idea it would grow this fast or this quickly!

Stephen's knowledge of rangefinder photography combined with his business experience and industry contacts will help RFF grow and become even more popular. Don’t worry about big changes that change the flavor of RFF, that won’t happen. RFF will only get better!

I would like to thank everyone for supporting RFF and helping build it into the premiere site for rangefinder cameras and film based photography. Your support has made this possible. The RFF community is a great group of people. Stephen will need your continued help and support just as I do.

Again,

Thank you.

This sort of makes sense :)

Does this mean that Messr Gandy will be the overseer and Jorge will remain and "head honcho" with Joe, Ralph, et al being the field generals?

Or does this mean that everyone gets free shipping from CameraQuest if they're an RFF member? :D

I think you've done a great job so far Jorge and it HAS grown leaps and bounds, even since I joined, and, as I have always said, it's a great resource and one of the few sites left online where people are generally cordial, respectful and helpful. There's very little bickering that goes on and quite a lot of camaraderie - that says a lot for the site, the previous (and hopefully new) owners and moderators (not to mention the membership) :D

Cheers on a job well done,
Dave
 
Wow...a bit of news and it looked like the site went down for the last 30 minutes or so.

Well, here's hoping that change is good.
 
As a sposoring member, I feel like a sharholder in RFF. With this takeover on the table, may I assume we will be bought out of our stake? Or at least expect massive dividends?

:)
 
Stephen is a very good vendor and congrats to you both.

Looking forward to keeping the same friendly, helpful atmosphere as before.
 
Hey, I'm still here guys. I just don't pay the bills or do the worrying anymore :) I have no plans on going away and hope to bring another great site to life in the future.
 
Well, I must admit that the site going down right when the news came out made me quite nervous - I read the title of the thread, but got nothing else. But now I know, and am happy. I'm glad to see that RFF has grown so much, and kudos to Stephen for taking it on.

I for one remain optimistic

I for one remain optimistic

RFF has gotten better and better with time under Jorge's leadership and the supervision by the moderators. I fully expect that under Stephen's guidance it will remain the same.:) 2007 will bring much good.
 
we were good before and we're gonna be good now.

stephen will be a good 'boss' and i have no fear that any changes will only be for the better.

a pair of new eyes and someone accomplished in business and who already has one of the most looked at sites when it comes to things rf, can only add to our own presence.

i look forward to the coming days and welcome stephen.

I'm here, I just got on after trying for a while at 12. Welcome Stephen G and congrats on your involvement.

The combination of RFF and the CameraQuest site will make an awesome RF resource.
 
Well I can't think of anyone better to hand it over to. I hear nothing but good about Stephen Gandy and his commitment to rangefinders.
