Escape From Noise

We know our beloved forums is a hot commodity. Talked about not just on sites like Vice, Github, Know Your Meme, and many more! Not only that it's appeared on shows like Attack of the Show. Something Awful has even been the subject of that one book!

Despite our fame and allure, the site's ownership and future has never been rock solid. That's why I am suggesting a tontine!

We all put our names in and the last poster left alive gets ownership of the site once Jeffery decides to unload the site and go travel the world or whatever. Who's in?

I couldn't figure out the roots of "tontine" so looked up the etymology. It's eponymous! from French, named after Lorenzo Tonti (1630�95), a Neapolitan banker who started such a scheme to raise government loans in France ( c. 1653).
