Keeping this site open is not what I was suggesting.
What I was suggesting was an entirely new internet project... building a wholly original app of some sort for science-fiction/fantasy book fans.
I think a project like that could be done in a year or so for a good coder working part-time.
Then everyone in this community could move there...
Ben does have his own life and already has given a lot of it to this site.
Apart from occasional nostalgia, most of us have moved on and have contact to (most of) the people who matter to us from here some other way.
