Too many damn posts about the site move in too many places, I'm happy to start a new one.
My position, as a never-mod and as a not very highly regarded member of this community, but someone who's been here since noows, is to stick it out here unless new owners fuck it up. I reserved a name at the other place but don't desire to use it unless this community dies or goes to shit.
a_skeleton_03 might have good intentions but I'm not confident he knows what it takes to keep a robust online community running. It's time, money and commitment. I have run small guild message boards in the past and would never choose to take on a project like this. I think if MMORPG leaves us alone then it's the best case scenario. If this place loads a 404 like fohguild then I guess we'll have no choice but to go elsewhere.
I think the situation is shady as shit but can't fault the man for wanting to make a buck. Running a website is a thankless job and the ad revenue likely didn't pay for the frustration. I am not confident it could have been sold to a community member and been run as well. There's no guarantee the buyer(s) would be experienced with the task of hosting.
Draegen criticizes me every chance he gets and I use to think he was a friend, but he's been trolling the shit out of myself and others in the politics thread, so I am not defending him, I'm just trying to be realistic about the whole situation.
Moving a community is risky and you usually lose quite a bit in the process. It would serve us best to stick here if possible.

Your eagerness to move the community is alarming. There's no guarantee the new site won't meet the same fate, perhaps quicker. I don't trust any of you fuckers tbh. Anyone that can make a quick 5-10K will probably do it.
Don't be hasty in this decision. This site isn't 404'd like foh. Back then we had no choice.
