Quote from: jackofspades on May 03, 2013, 03:39 pmAssuming (s)he is human, and all humans die then DPR will die and unless DPR is really a small elite group (doubt it) then this one person will die and it could happen with or without warning.Someone has to take over operations, the vendors have to pay tribute to someone...Will Scout, the next in command take over? Will there be a totally new person, that the IRL version of DPR trusts take over? Maybe an election on the forums based on previous posts, and perceived trustworthy-ness by other long term members?Maybe a committee will be formed but these are questions that need to be answered because its only a matter of time.DPR has been the best so far and obviously we'd need to ensure that the next leader is equally as trustworthy and not greedy, not a rat etc.But i do think that we, as a community (albeit anonymous) need a contingency plan.Is this a veiled threat? What are trying to imply here, sir? LOL.I hope he doesn't die, that would suck. SR has replaced Facebook, CNN, and nearly anything else I used to spend time with online.In half seriousness, if he did pass away .. then fuck! That would suck, HARD. How would anyone even know?? He rarely posts here. People wouldn't even figure it out till he was absent for weeks. Hopefully he's got a contingency plan in place.Maybe infighting would break out amongst the staff as to who'd come to power. Like different factions would form and they'd DDoS the fuck out of each other and fight it out on TOR. Inigo would head one, SSBD would head another, Scout would head one, the new guy Libertas would command a little faction.But this is all humor. In seriousness, knowing DPR to be a very intelligent man with foresight.. I would say he's got some kind of a plan. Some trusted technical savvy libetertarian person he knows is going to get a sealed letter with a login/password to the gates of Valhalla. That and a few hundred million dollars in Bitcoins..
