Totally off the wall!

I have a WAY-out there thought for the membership/readership.
Most of you are aware of what has been for many years, THE absolute PREMIUM "trapdoor" site on the internet - Al Frasca's TrapdoorCollector.com, and you all know there was a time in history where Krag and Trapdoors served side-by-side.
Al has intimated/hinted to his readers over the last couple of years, that all good things must eventually end, and he was beginning to think of someday retiring from the internet. This would leave a terrible void for collectors, as there is nothing else even close. Due to certain technical reasons beyond his ability to control, his board has become quite difficult/annoying to use, and also - very sadly - "membership" seems to be dropping as well.
Now, as to where this is going: How would this group feel about possibly considering - at some point down the road - welcoming collectors of other contemporary US military arms to this group? This is certainly premature - just a wild thought at this time - but I wanted to see if there was any hope at all, or if the group would be dead set against the idea.
The ideal solution would be for someone to take over Al's site, but there have been no offers to do so - and the "structure" could well be beyond fixing - all new software and a lot of tech work would be required. Here, it would SEEM that only a new category heading would need to be added?
Thanks for your consideration, and flame away!
