It's reasonable to think that way Sparf, but moving to a forum would,
at least in my opinion, cause people to post more often precisely
BECAUSE they wouldn't get bottled up in dead scenes. Let's try a
different analogy. It's like having one little road to get to a town
center. When there's a traffic jam, nobody can get to their final
destination because they're forced to go down this one, linear path or
otherwise abandon their vehicle, which nobody wants to do. Now imagine
building on several side-roads that go out to a couple of other major
roadways. Now that same traffic jam isn't such a big deal, because a
person can turn off at the next road and still be able to reach their
final destination (a concluded roleplay scenario).

Archiving every post on another forum may not be as hard as you think
- there's software out there to help you do it so you don't have to
manually save 3,000 web pages to your hard disk. Anyway, this place
can always be kept open so that people can check past posts, even in
the event that the old posts can't be uploaded onto the other server.
I don't think this will be so daunting once it actually does get off
the ground. I used to think it'd never work, but after having seen
Myth (as John mentioned) formatted that way, I've seen just how
effective it is. Anyway, if we don't try we'll never know, right?
