instead of shutting it down just ditch the Cracky board and add some more image boards. Maybe even have our own /b/.
we'll be another image board....
or even better we could make the main URL take you to a page claiming the site shut down... but make an alternate page where the board actually is. After dropping the Cracky board and adding some other boards we'll be able to be slightly more selective with the people who come.
