Yes, there is a very good reason why I picked Marty instead of Pete who was an active forum member at the time. Even though noone knew who Marty was.
He had experience running websites, Pete was just learning about it. Marty at the time (and I think still does) ran several other large websites, he obviously knew what he was doing, and he had the resources to provide sufficient hosting for Juventuz. Juventuz is a big site, it's not trivial to run it. And as you can see, 4 years later we're still here. Marty has done a wonderful job.
