Thanks for responding, Phoetux! I want to gather as many opinions as possible concerning what's best for these forums.

I'm sorry to say this, but if you live in a house that's been up for lots of days but can crumble or that you can't improve it (cauze sadly Alcar has the keys of this place) you wouldn't call this place home, but an old memory that needs to end. Now don't get me wrong, what I'm saying is that to erect a new forum is a good idea since you can improve it in all the ways possible, while here you can't do anything since no one has the same power to Alcar. We can like make a new site with a new forum associated with the old one, I'm saying that we could do it. But I'm nobody to make this decision, only you can really say that this forum is (figuratively) the home of everyone while I'm here from half-2016. I only said that you all can decide to change place, but it's still your decision.
Maybe I only said crap until now.

I actually agree with you and originally petitioned for this forum to be abandoned in favour of a new website. Alas, the only way for such a transition to be effective would be for the majority of the active user base to migrate together. I'd even offer to pay the new site fees, it would not bother me at all, providing someone else would want to operate it.
As was iterated during "the revolution", however, there are too many memories here. These forums have stood the test of time, and there's still an active user base. A new forum would also take quite some time to earn any validity, and it's likely Google would still point new members to this website, at least for a few years.
As for the other things you said, I would absolutely endeavour to make sure that whatever nominated Movie/TV Show/Book/Game was available in all countries. After all, I want the community to be combined, so it would be counter-intuitive to limit who can take part.
Concerning Game Nights, I was rather thinking of live role-playing games, where users interact via webcams and a host guides them through an adventure/scenario.
