Looks like nobody really gives a damn about this forum nor the infestation of parasites. 
I think the problem isn't that no one cares, it's that the people that do care aren't listened to/taken seriously/not important enough to listen to.
When is this new forum coming out? I guess it doesn't really matter what the date is at this point because it's been a WIP for so long that the date will most likely be pushed again. Q2 2019 is my guess.
