First board ever joined. Great guy and alot of info. Learned more on fina from his site than any other, before most people knew what it was. Hopefully his board will stay open. RIP

First let me begin by saying this is one of the most uncomfortable tasks I've had to ever carry out in "modship" at any board. Myself, as well as the other moderators here at GotFina.com, felt it be best to share with you all what we have learned over the course of the last week.
Mr. H, aka "Chris Hummel" evidently was killed in an automobile accident about a week ago. We are about 95% sure that this is true, as we've seen the obituary that ran under this name, and heard from a few of his friends who knew he had this board, but that's all we have to go on at this moment. Please understand that I/GotFina are relaying this information in fairness to everyone, and if this turns out to be some kind of sick joke/hoax, we apologize for presenting inaccurate information, but as I mentioned before, this was confirmed by two sources, so it seems to be a legitimate event, unfortunately.
The future of the board is being decided we believe, but out of the hands of any of the moderators here. All we can do is sit back and keep the board "poppin" like we always have, and let the powers that are to be, figure it out. Supposedly Mr. H's older brother and friend are going to keep the board alive and open/updated, but again that's only what we hear is "supposed" to happen. W/out Mr. H running the board himself, no one knows what the future of this location is. No, I am not the "next in line" to inherit the board as two of you have asked who know about this already, I've my own location already and could not handle more w/a full plate already.
I'm going to dedicate the VIP Matrix at my forums to Mr. H in honor of his passing and for rememberance purposes. If this site fails to stay open, I want to at least still have some kind of rememberance area where his name can be seen and remembered, as it should be. He was a true gentleman and quite a pimp, from having the ONLY and BEST Fina board on the Net. Fina grew popular in the media/magazines long AFTER Mr. H had opened this board up about 4 years ago. He was way ahead of his time as to what people would be looking for in regards to fitness and future trends.
I ask that you all say a prayer for Mr. H, and that you please help to make this place comfortable and enjoyable, and flame/bullshit free. It's the least we can do for such a great individual as I know he would like that very much.
Thanks for listening! I do feel a bit relieved now that I've done this.
