Yes! Make the current main forum a subforum and then have a main forum where only staff can make new topics and there they can update us and we would be able to reply with praise/suggestions/shutupandtakemymoney-isms.
Forums can't cost that much to maintain, can they?
We might have to lose our profile pages, since they have so much information that needs to be stored and accessed, but we would lose that stuff either way.
