Let me get this straight.
Audiworld starts making enough money that it gets bought out by new corporate overlords. Those overlords think there's a problem because the open source software which runs the board hasn't been updated for a while, so they change to a piece of commercial software which users hate by a 10:1 margin.
So, now that it's making money, instead of improving Kawf by adding the new features they want and contributing back to the open source project which allowed Audiworld to become successful, they dump it, pissing off a bunch of users in the process.
Seems like the new overlords flunked Internet Business 101.
