I was quite active on CS and also joined bewelcome. Bewelcome never seemed to gain the critical mass necessary though - this would be a difficult problem for any new platform.

OP why not approach CS HQ.now that it's been funded maybe you could pitch the idea.

Kinda agree with that. Still, it is a sign that creating another CS platform can be difficult, because of the fact that people have to move to a new service.

The big problem of CS currently is that they have done a lot to increase the number of CSers in the community (for $$ reasons). This means that a lot of people subscribers that do not (IMHO) share the same spirit as older members. This is even the reason why bewelcome was created, as far as I know.
