I agree with this article, and this lifecycle of social networks is what I am trying to address with my project. With many other services, instead of being acquired and shut down, they grow to be bloated and filled with advertising. I allow data export in plaintext format, and I use the very well supported PGP for user identities, with a simplified interface. The source code is up there. Though I have not yet chosen any license, I'm leaning towards GPL + Artistic, like Perl. And it is decentralized, allowing anyone to clone and fork an existing forum, and later selectively syncronize.
