Someone pays the domain renewal bill (if any); someone pays, 
or calls a favor, with the location the box is hosted; someone 
has root on that box.   Find those answers, and you have the 
throat to choke.

Unhappy with those answers?  Can't figure it out?  Fork and 
out-perform the incumbent.  Running code talks.  This is FOSS 
after all.

No slam on der Hans, or Lisa.  Running a LUG is hard; 
running it for years and years is even harder

Bring your own domain registration for a LUG, and I'll provide 
access to a host for a virthost website, mailing list, etc on 
a box that has in its past hosted Distrowatch, the Metro 
Detroit LUG, the Tampa LUG, a couple of defunct LUGs, and the 
Central OH LUG (currently).  Others as well, but I fergit.

But kvetching about it and not acting is just pointless.
