In another month or so when LW updates (the synching issue will actually be delayed even further beyond that they said), will this really be as much of an issue anymore?

If they want to provide hosting services, then let them? We can always move if we don't like them, and let's face it that some of those giant communities are fairly toxic and would remain so wherever they go.

Then again perhaps I am speaking of things that I do not know here: out of the top 10 communities listed there, I am not subscribed to any of them.
