[Ansteorra] Dead (or very comatose) webpages

[Kerry Pratt]

The site can be redesigned so that there is nothing on it that is time sensitive, such as a champions list, or it needs
a member of the bardic community willing to update it as needed, or, at a minimum, provide me with timely, needed
changes.  Coding minor changes to a static website doesn't take very much time but continuously monitoring the content
of hundreds of web pages over 93 sub-domains can erode away the free time and limited sanity of any one person.  In
short, the site, and others like it, needs a champion to dedicate him or herself to the care and feeding of it.  Also,
and especially, with the bardic site, we need to work on getting releases for all of the information gathered within so
that it meets the Society's legal requirements for creative material posted to the web.

William, I for one have/had material posted to the Bard website that I wish to keep available to the community.  What
are you requesting in the way of traffic or support?
