Oct 4, 2019 at 13:48 comment added mbomb007 @LuisMendo snafu would also fit.
Oct 4, 2019 at 9:24 comment added Luis Mendo @xnor I totally agree. Very well put. And I have learned a new word, "kerfuffle" :-D
Oct 4, 2019 at 1:38 comment added xnor I agree that there isn't a need now to start a new community. Still, it seems SE is less than stable and we'd be best to think about fallbacks in advance. As you say, making a new site would require first settling some kind-of boring questions, and I think it would be hard to motivate this if it's not clear the end result would get any use. I'm tentatively up for waiting to see if (when?) things get worse. What concerns me though is how quickly things on SE could blow up -- just look at the recent kerfuffle -- compared to how slow building a new site would be. I don't have a good answer.
Oct 2, 2019 at 16:29 comment added Nathan Merrill I'd personally vote for all-new questions. Yes, we'd get a "duplicate" quine challenge, and many identical solutions, as long as the challenge and answer weren't copied/pasted from here, we'd be fine. And if they were copy/pasted, they can attribute.
Oct 2, 2019 at 2:48 comment added Ørjan Johansen @PeterTaylor Transfering questions and answers? I can see it now... "This site's content is under CC-BY-SA 3 or 4, we're just not sure which parts are which."

Oct 1, 2019 at 17:55 comment added Peter Taylor @Mego, oh, I thought they'd ditched OAuth completely a year or two ago. Maybe they only ditched letting you use other providers.
Oct 1, 2019 at 17:48 comment added user45941 @PeterTaylor Account association is actually much easier - SE is an OAuth provider.
Oct 1, 2019 at 13:43 comment added Peter Taylor @manatwork, the challenges are licensed under CC-BY-SA. A fork wouldn't be able to sensibly transfer votes or rep, but it could transfer questions and answers. And account association could be managed by asking users who claim an account to edit a verification code into their PPCG profile.

Oct 1, 2019 at 9:18 comment added manatwork “It wouldn't be a move” — Indeed. Even if members move, the challenges will stay. Then would we allow old challenges posted on the new site too or would we reject old challenges as already seen on CGCC?
Oct 1, 2019 at 8:35 comment added Luis Mendo @Sanchises Actually that's how I knew about PPCG back then
Oct 1, 2019 at 7:25 comment added Sanchises Without HNQ I think a large part of the community may not have joined codegolf.SE. Visibility is a real problem indeed.
