I've recently bought the WinCert forum. The good people there pointed me to this thread, asking me to step in and save MSFN. I don't have the capacity to take on another platform of this magnitude, but I've been thinking...
WinCert uses the same forum software. What I can offer is migrating the current MSFN board into a subforum on WinCert, so that the forum content is not gonna get lost, and whoever wishes, can continue their forum activities over there.
It'd be a shame to see it all go to waste. Although I've only been a lurker here for at least a decade, MSFN has been a valuable resource for me as well...
