Exactly, DD.
Look, I'd be the last guy in here to say I WANT to go somewhere else. You guys know how much I love it here. But let's be honest:
a) TFF doesn't get new members. New users come in, post once or twice, and leave for good.
b) Most of the old timers left for good and won't come back at all. I spent years trying to email the old gang and bring them back. Most replied saying they hated what happened in the past and were too offended to come back. That all was before my time here, so I don't know what's that all about but it doesn't matter anyway.
c) I used to like to dig out old threads to enjoy the contents of this forum. I stopped doing that because not only most users disliked old threads emerging, but also I was even addressed by mods telling me they were getting complaints (!!!). That shows precisely how much the shared knowledge of TFF is valued. I say bury it all, it's the people that matter, not the old threads.
Nobody cares about them anyway, that's the truth.
d) We don't really focus our discussions here on Fender products. We talk about tone, instruments in general, share our experiences, talk about music... And the LPF has a Fender area anyway.
Also, all these cats are already registered users and posters at the LPF, that I know of:
Me
chwillie
Offshore Angler
Cogs
Oldstrummer
jrgtr42
Don
Coyotesgator
Laker
Danthebluesman
Gibsonjunkie
Renderit
Two others whose TFF usernames I ignore
I think there's no easier option here.
All we need to do is start our favorite permanent threads like "what are you listening to", "what have you bought" and our classic "Sunday threads". We'll all be there anyway. I started one:
