Close down the site and start over from scratch?
Starting from scratch is actually what was originally intended. I've heard through the grapevine that IB also owns v_bulletin, which is the forum software that RCU used back in the original days (Remember the blue logo?) and that IB's plan was to switch it back someday. So hopefully they are working on a new, scratch version
Well, in my biased opinion the quality of these forums are tied to the speed and stability of the serving platform. I have been closing stalled browsing sessions more often in the recent past and am considering abandoning RCU as a resource due to this. I know I get what I pay for, but the adds pushed into our faces, including the new pop-ups, should be enough to foot the bill.
For scale building and large scale aerobatics other sites have RCU beat hands down. This was not always so.
Time will tell if RCU will stay around.
