You can check out http://try.discourse.org to try out a live server instance. It's got a pretty cool and damn snappy UI even under not so great wifi.

It almost sounds like we would essentially need to perform a massive exodus from YW. Special pinned posts being placed with an explanation on why we are doing what we are doing and essentially just let YW become a stale point in the ether.

Well, yes and no. My idea is to grab all the threads that we want with us and integrate them into the new system. That way our existing community and our data is preserved and we get a way nicer platform as a result.

This isn't an "admin" thing, this is a straight up owner situation where for some reason they have the misconception that they have the ability to make money on a site that has been going the way of the DoDo for years.

Actually, YarisBueller has stated that he doesn't care if he makes money on YW or not, and I tend to believe him. It's just that if he's not interested in making money AND he's also not interested in being a part of the community, then what exactly keeps him motivated to keep YW afloat for the next 5 years?

I suppose that I should clarify a little better. With what has been shared with me when the owner has been approached about possibly handing off the torch to someone else my understanding is there was a discussion about what the site was worth in a monetary measurement.

That is the last I will say about it. I have given my input.
