I think at this point, it's tough to be in knee jerk territory. We've seen firsthand what Sun is capable of and to what lengths he's willing to go (poked into it or not). In spite of whatever brilliance he might have, letting STEEM be STEEM doesn't appear to be high on his to do list.
Though, I note that he hasn't changed the 13-week window yet, even though it would benefit his exchange pals greatly to do so. Either he can't because he doesn't have the expertise to pull it off, or he sees the exodus coming.
Sorry to hear about your community. It's hard to believe, but we're still in early days for those, too. Seems like months instead of weeks. :)
I only made it so I would know how they work anyways, part of helping the testing group out to see what issue I would experience. It was kind of fun, and now I know a bit more of how they work, I may try to get it started up on here, I actually made a post on it the other day, so my community page does have one official type post.
