Schmidt, have you ever talked to the NotABug guy?

No. He is welcome to contact me.

But at the same time, a serious and motivated team could do something from scratch

Yes. One decent full-time guy should be able to get something done quickly. If I had a few hours free per week to invest in this, I could do it, but I don't have that time.

A forum website can be made in a day. Your requirements so far right now just seem to be "saidit" with moderators. You could do that and just sit by yourself making posts to yourself on a forum all year long.

That's the thing about social media giants, twitter, facebook, instagram, etc. You can make an excellent professional alternative (think Google+), and no one will ever use it because it hasn't gone "viral". Not only is an idea not enough for a successful forum, a well-executed plan is not even enough. Google tried it.

Don't be swayed by the propaganda. NaB doesn't need any help from no-one and you shouldn't waste your time building something else.
