I dont speak from the #1 posting from user gamerate. I know that the team has no access to this post anymore.
What I mean is the #3 post from nkryuchkov which was a compromise solution and worked a long time.
But since some monthes the image links are broken. nkryuchkov easily could fix this.
It looks really unprofessional when there are only broken links on the first page of their ANN thread. Everyone will take a first look and immediately think the project is abandoned.
Moving the discussion still seems to be the best solution, if the Team wants to continue with the users who have shown interest here, and aggregate them to new followers. beyond the facility of producing a new layout
