Thank you @Goldengate8361 and @Effie54 !
I have no desire or need to have any form of control or power over this. So any help would be appreciated.
I saw a need to get something going, and how much this board means to people. If my solution isn't favorable, then that's ok. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
I know change is hard, and the pro boards does seem like a comparable board to navigate as this.
But I want to emphasize, I can't do it alone. So, if it seems like a good solution to some of us, then let's have fun getting it going. (I know it won't work for everyone, but their is no perfect solution).
Edit to add: since I typed this, there have been more offers to help me in this task. THANK YOU! I think pooling our ideas together can lead to something fun!
