I would join a new forum were it to be created, but as others have said, I would be worried about the connotations - not only might it split the userbase, how would we ensure that every member heard about the new site? Also, what about old returning members - would they know where to look to find their old community?
However, the big thing from my own personal perspective is Archives. If we move to a new site, I would be much happier to do so were there a way to lift everything from this forum to the new one, but I have a feeling that that wouldn't be possible without admin access, if at all. if we can't, we lose 6 years worth of posts and memories, especially if the admins decide to close down the forum when the majority of the userbase ups and leaves.
