It might be as simple as MV says, but he also always said, "Be careful what you post on Bellgab, I'm going to pay to keep it running forever." Makes me think there's another layer or he's afraid someone will come after him if Heather gets trouble from it irl. I have nothing sensitive there but I get people's concerns, and it would probably be best to factory reset the fucker (or the forum equivalent) before selling the domain.
I don't think he can get in 'trouble.' WE post, we are accountable. But it's like writing letters to Penthouse. It's all good fun. Like the National Lampoon. Bellgab was THE premier on line humor site. Thanks to ART, (Redacted) and a cast of zanies, it all came out as some sort of cathartic written Dali-esque street performance.
Thanks for all the larfs, MV.
