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.
