What do people think happens to this place after launch

Serious question rather than a sentimental one.

Right now this forum exists because none of us can play the game. Every thread is inference, argument and waiting. In twelve weeks all of that becomes obsolete overnight, because the answers arrive.

Some communities survive that transition and become something better. Some become a support desk. Some just stop. I have watched all three happen. Does anyone have a sense of which this will be, and is there anything worth doing now to steer it?
