Well my thougts are this....you'd still need both, and to support both....because many people, especially newcomers to the ROM, will not wan to sign up for YAF...and I don't blame them.
But I think your own forum would ultimately be easier on you and everyon else.
I'd say AT LEAST half the posts here are from people who are regulars who would sign up and take the discussion to your new boards. This would clean this thread up immensely and make it easier to follow.
Then you could keep better track on this thread, and be able to keep track of things in your new forum in a much more organized fashion. Would be easier for me and others for sure, and I would imagine for you too.
For info and updates, I would suggest just posting basic updates in the first post, and linking to your site for detailed info..that way you dont have to keep 2 copies of a library of info up to date.
The biggest downside I see is that I think some of the more regular posters here would not be in this thread as much, which means helping the newbies less. And the annoyances of crosslinking to YAF.
