"Pretty easy," aye, but not perfect. People flee Facebook eventually, Twitter has no 'Downsian group--just a smattering of mutual follows, LiveJournal is long since dead (at least among my generation of Downers), and who can say of other social media sites?
In other words, take away the forum and there would no longer be any central place. Sorry news, if there were any, would probably spread, but like a game of telephone across various platforms.
(Which, to take things sideways, is kind of a beautiful story-germ, but not mercifully not the present situation.)
