Reply #20: My thoughts (attempt to kickstart discussion)

Yeah I figure people won't reply till after Christmas, but...

The admins don't intend to delete the old software, since it contains the archives, so all they have to do (to leave this board open to new posts instead of archiving it) is to flip a switch.

Presumably if all we're asking for is to keep GD2 open, they'd have to keep the Lounge and a Dungeon in place as well, to allow the (all volunteer) DU2 mods to function as normal. So that's three forums?

If the admins were open to the idea of keeping GD2 up as an "underground" forum a la early days of DU,

LBN-2 might still have to be shut down on the grounds that it is redundant to the new LBN and would double moderation duties for the old site... or would it?

Video forum is another question because DU3 allows videos on all threads so it is not necessary to have a latest videos forum on DU2 -- We could just merge DU2 "videos" into GD2 by flipping another switch (allow video embedding).

But that's a subject for discussion.

Just trying to discuss what's possible. If you were the Admins, what would YOU do?
