I think this new site is a good idea.

The only thing I don't understand is why ColinT & co haven't stated clearly their reasons publicly (Ars DC forum). That would be beneficial in the first place for Ars DC community IMHO. For me there are many good things at Ars (specially zamb's TLC stas, I do only seti), and there are a few bad things. The problem is that you cannot even discuss bad things because an overzealous moderator comes over and locks you thread. Has the latest lock of the Larry's mobo thread been a drop over the brink? I think you have to articulate your motivation better and in a frankly manner.

In any case I wish you good luck and all the best. I'll come here to follow the events for the time being.
