Running a domain name lookup search on the bridgehunter.com domain shows that the domain is registered through July 2023, so there's a bit of time to work through any issues of who will keep the site running in the future. I suspect we'll know more about the future of his sites in the coming months.

Just curious what his ID was here, presuming he was here, of course.

Hopefully it doesn't mean anything, but bridgereports.com went down while I was using it today, and bridgehunter.com is gone, too.

Bridgehunter has been wonky off and on the last week or two.
