Yeah but why did they have to go down a CENTRALIZED route? It's their perogative but it's a shame ... I await a forum like system that is decentralized and non-platform dependent then we could all be participating in the same forums and yet have a market of ideas creating better and better interfaces for said forum.

I wonder if they have any plans to decentralize it ... assuming they work hard to have the best interface we'll continue to use them. They do have a large headstart.
