So can I ask a question? What is the exact likelihood of Alcar giving the all clear to archive this website and start again?
|
Difficult to say. He sounds very positive about upgrading and whatnot, but that's happened in the past without anything actually ending up happening.
:
And is the upgraded website going to make such a huge difference if Alcar still gets the majority vote for anything and everything? It's no good expending all of this effort if, a year down the road, something needs to be fixed or amended and we can't contact the owner.

As long as someone else has a vote, it doesn't matter if Alcar has the majority. Let's put it like this: Early on when I was a mod, I'd check in with Alcar before making any significant decisions (e.g. adding subforums, changing rules). At a certain point he gave me the the go-ahead to just make those decisions on my own. And I figure it'd be the same if I became an owner - I'd have the full ability to do anything and Alcar for the most part wouldn't get involved.

Blogs are a feature that get used pretty regularly and generate a decent amount of activity, it’s best to keep them.

A bunch of that activity might have been threads if blogs weren't available. And I'd prefer more threads to blogs.
