Run it as a business owned by a few people will probably work for a while - but what happens if the owners change their minds? Or get bored? Or hit by a bus?

Imagine a community site owned by it's users, run in the cloud. It could continue to exist as long as it had users, and grow beyond its original founders - become something far greater.
