Well, if you want it, just let me know, and it is yours.

I know there has been talk in the past about migrating to a new forum system or site, but why kill off Changstar? I have some thoughts floating around in my empty head as to why, but I must have missed something somewhere.

Simply because I like change. Change prevents things from getting stale. Old habits, patterns, and perceptions are hard to break. Changstar is at an impasse. Sometimes easier to start new with a clean break, taking along lessons learned, than to evolve old.

Changstar had its time and its place and by in large I feel that it's original goals have been accomplished - far exceeding what I had ever expected. The awesome thing is that I can do this because Changstar isn't a golden goose for me.

Next site will be chenstar?

Anyway, excited what kind of changes will be made. Will content from here be migrated over?

Ok, to maybe be too serious:
I'm assuming the new site won't be "not that other site" anymore, but is there a way to create something that focuses on moving the hobby forward? Schiit has the kind of best bang for your buck with no needless frills thing going for them. I'm sure Jason and the rest can tell you that it's kept them from doing a bunch of things that a "normal audio" company would do and as a result they are more focused and are one of the more successful audio companies out there.

So maybe it's not a name, but a name sure helps focus.
