If such a hostile take over occurred (regardless of if it is by some future LUV or some future LA), I would imagine somebody would register a new domain, setup new mailing lists, and LUV would continue.
Yes. Even if the group was forked, having two LUGs in the same area wouldn't do any harm, the creation of MLUG didn't hurt LUV.
Sure, we probably will lose some members, new users probably will be confused, we might loose access to mailing list archives and existing subscriber lists (if we somehow manage to loose access to our servers too), however I imagine LUV would continue.
Control over servers is another difficult issue. I am not aware of us having any backups of our server. One thing I aim to do is to make multiple backups and have them stored by LUV committee members. It's one of those things that is a data point to oppose the claim that paperwork etc isn't taking time away from doing real work for LUV. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
