One other thing Marie mentioned, in regards to a mod strike idea - if the mods here moved over to a new forum at least in a regular user capacity, and most of our regulars moved over there to begin colonizing our new frontier - and we wanted this site to stay up in some kind of interim capacity to allow others to have a chance to know where we've gone - then our MB mods would need to continue maintaining this site to prevent spambots from making it unusable - so that others would know where to find us. Again, to your point, if we had some kind of official presence elsewhere (like a twitter account or some other social media), then we'd have an alternative way to communicate that - but unfortunately, since this kind of presence isn't established, doing so now wouldn't help current members who have been absent for some time (like Lucem Ferre) because they wouldn't be aware of its existence. These problems are by no means insurmountable or an excuse to not do anything because that's easier, but they should be considered.
