Modojo did it, and we only had a core population of a hundred or so members. We were so dead that we had half the number of forums open that MB does, and still weren't as busy, but we had to go somewhere, and we migrated just fine.
THe issue isn't the result, its getting enough people onboard to go elsewhere, so that the rest follow.
