good questionsHi and welcome. Have you been part of christian forums for some time and know the history?
Did you purchase the site or are you just going to be running it for Lee/Escalate Media?
No, my questions were not answered in the OP. The OP basically says that Lee is handing the reigns to Paul. It does NOT say he sold him the site which is what I asked about. Handing the reigns could mean overseeing or being a partial owner/overseer or be a completely new owner.Both of which were answered in the OP

My friends,
Please welcome a friend of mine, Paul Kim, as the new owner of CF. You all very well know that I am so very busy with business, church ministry, and my family. This has prevented me from being as active as I would have liked to have been here on CF. This led me to run it by a good friend of mine (Paul) and see if he had interest in taking the reigns of CF.
To give you some background on how Paul and I came to be friends, let me share some. It all started over 2 years ago when I was selling another community, ChristianGuitar.org. He came to me as a possible buyer who had never owned any type of website. We met, connected, he liked what he saw, and he agreed to acquire the site. It was nice as he was a super guy and I was able to help guide him along this new path of community ownership as he got his feet wet. Now, 2 years+ later, he is doing ever so well and he was my obvious choice as candidate for CF. We have been friends for a couple of years now, met multiple times, and enjoyed good fellowship. I know he will be better for CF, more active than I could have dreamed to been, and a solid leader for CF's future.
While I am happy to hand off CF in to such good hands, I will very much miss being a part of this place. Mostly, I will miss being a part of leadership, working with the great team behind CF. My main work here has always been with the Advisors and it has been a real pleasure of mine to work with such a neat bunch of folks.
So please welcome Paul and get to know a guy who I have come to really like / appreciate over the past couple of years!
Stumpy-Pete? I must remember that.
