I guess from the point of view of our administrators, it can seem like sedition. I understand it if mods would be sceptical to supporting this. On the other hand, admins are not invested to the point where they want to do anything with the site so are they invested enough to care about this thread? Either way, thoughts like this will float around, even if they're not spoken out. I prefer things out in the open. As I hinted at, this thread is not fueled by my passionate rage against the admins or anything like that.
But admins aside, what I sort of imagine is one or more of us setting up a sister site that some of us could work on. We'd get a forum up, tweak it the way we like it and so on. Perhaps we could add a blog part, chatroom or some radio stuff members could listen to and then, when we think its ready, we'd make our move. There'd be no secrets and no violent revolutions, basically just a project for the MB community to work on. Those interested who weren't directly involved could keep an eye on how it was going. Perhaps there would be a thread here documenting the important happenings over there and now and then, there'd be some voting over the visuals of the site or some other relevant topic.
Leaving posts and threads behind is definitely a big drawback. The most important threads, like journals, could be moved over, but probably not with all the comments intact. So a lot of the banter would be gone and we'd have to start that fresh. I don't mind starting fresh so much, but I can see how others would disagree.
