I'm new here, too and I don't know George or his motivations, either. However, I have been a moderator on another forum for a couple of years now and the thing that I've observed on that board in that time is this - if there is a lot of traffic on a forum, the forum stays. If there is little or no traffic for a bit of time, it may be removed or replaced with a new and better one. Of course, it is ultimately it is up to George with how he handles this kind of thing.
If you want people to read what you have to say, generate an interesting thread on a forum. Monitor it daily or several times a day, and keep posting. Create a dialogue with other members and you may find that the changes you desire will happen.
Just a thought.
Oh... and happy holidays!
