Your sarcasm isn't wasted on me, Hurley!
On a more topical note, I don't see imbedding this forum into the new site as being the solution, unless the forum will be put on the free side. I podcast, but not all of you do. (And to be honest, if it requires getting a podcast to continue to post, I'll just let my subscription lapse, but that's another issue entirely.) Back on point, many of you don't podcast. You shouldn't HAVE to podcast to get to something you previously got for free. Second, I don't see the moderators here as under the thumb of the show. If this forum becomes the "official" forum, they're going to have to answer to the show, and the climate may change in the process.
Sadly, the only reasonable and fair solution is to leave things as they were. Otherwise, a lot of the people with whom the show can't do without, the listeners, might not be there anymore.
