When checking Blenderman this morning I saw this...

I am personally very pleased to have created this website and the associated resources, but I am not able to continue the work. There have been many excellent people I have met throughout the world with Blenderman, and I give them all my thanks.

I am no longer able to continue supporting or administrating Blenderman, and by the end of August the project is being transferred to new owners. They will keep Blenderman alive, and do far more with the community than I could possibly imagine!

A new administrator is needed to keep Blenderman running. This person should be willing to spend a minimum of 80 hours each month to keep Blenderman running. Background should include a working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and PHP. If you are interested, please contact webmaster@blenderman.org.

I'm sure he'll find someone soon.

Of slightly more interest though...The Blenderman Model Archive is now online. They seem to have implemented it using the PBS CMS, which, while it makes sense [that's what the Blenderman site uses], lacks some important functionality for archive app. For instance, there doesn't seem to be anyway to search the archive, and there's no root to the archive either...you just access the categories from the Blenderman home page. Also, there's no count of how many models are in the archive, or in each category. I suppose they have their reasons...and it has just opened. And it is appreciated. Check it out [right-hand menu pane =)].
