Yeah I definitely have this in my head when thinking about how to run the EA Forum. But I haven’t made a commitment to personally run the site for five years (I’m not a commitment sort of person in general). Maybe that means I’m not a good fit for this role?
I want to quickly flag that this sounds very wrong to me. In Oliver’s case, he was the CEO of that org, and if he left then, I think it’s very likely the organization would have died.
In comparison, I think CEA is in a much more robust place. There’s a different CEO, and it’s an important enough organization that I’d expect that if the CEO left, there would be sufficient motivation to replace that person with someone at least decent.
I think that it would be nice for CEA to make some commitments here. At very least, if it were the case that the forum was in great risk of closing in a few years, I assume many people here would want to know (and start migrating to other solutions). But I think CEA can make the commitments without you having to be personally committed.
