Reply #135: Reading the responses of Posters since my post...Why not Split DU?

[KoKo]

It's TOO LARGE. Why not do a REAL UNDERGROUND...self moderating but where genuine "speculative discussion" has a chance to BLOOM? "DU-1 is the Legacy Forum Active...DU-2 is the NEW BLOG designed the way you want it..working with your "new proposals."

Do "DU-1, LEGACY" on a shoestring budget like "Old DU" and allow "Old DU Archives" to be available...and let the folks who post have a little more leeway than in your NEW DU Model...let it be Self Regulating since the Legacy Folks already know how to deal with trolls and the like?

Could you get funding for TWO DU'S? I don't know. But maybe if you asked folks you might get a feel.

Some of us "Legacy DU'ers" have a history that just can't compete with the NEW DU...having to explain our "evolution" over and over...sort of wears us out.

But, I think the considerations of you guys from a Business Model...might be to just "let the Legacy go...off on it's own." :shrug:

We are Grown Ups...and we could fend for ourselves...but many of us would like to stay close to the "folks who brung us to the Dance." '

Would this be possible? Splitting DU...Legacy and the New Model you propose in your post?
