It could only do so if it was large enough, that is if enough people moved. I think if everyone wasn't in on it and made the move, then it wouldn't be worth doing. Well, that's an exaggeration - I'm sure there's some people with 15 posts that we could do without - but roughly the whole of what we think of as the community should make the move.
And if that can't currently happen, then this is not a good idea at present. However, I hope that if this site was to come down, Yac or the admin would let us know well beforehand so that we could get something like this underway so we don't suddenly lose our home.

I don't think it's a bad idea, however I just think you should have something in place and presentable before the membership part of it comes in. We're talking
SEO and everything. The less pressure you have to put on the core membership, the better, specifically when this site is fulfilling their needs right now.
