Hi dave :)
I am working on alot of other projects at the moment and I cannot put the time into it that I used to. At the same time, the brand that has been built up and the followers of the site itself has been great and I do not wish to see The Dude 'die' from neglect.. some people rely on it!
It was a tough decision but I have decided to sell so someone can continue to grow the community, and at the same time free up more of my time to develop my other projects, for which I also need a bit of startup cash!
Hope this answers your questions :)

@SeattlePurple
The hosting will need to be transferred, it is currently running out of private servers in London and can be moved at anytime.
I am just uploading updated traffic screens for this month.
PM sent in regards to reserve, let me know if you need to know anything else,
Jason
