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.

I don't feel like it's going to be a mass exodus. I feel like both sites can run parallel to each other
There are always going to be members that still stick around MB and use the new site both at the same time.
That is going to be one way for the old returning members of MB to find out about the new site.
I know for a fact that I will be one of those types using both forums and I don't see why that can't be done.
