> I raised the question about preserving communities on quora but it didn’t get any answers. Discourse may be the solution. However, if someone else is hosting it and they want to shut it down, can the community be sure that they can get at the content?

I’m not sure if this is an answer to what you’re saying, but that could usually be solved by building your own servers. [Apparently it’s not super expensive](http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/10/building-servers-for-fun-and-prof-ok-maybe-just-for-fun.html), and if you’re willing to have friends pitch in for a public space, pitching in for a server and some supplies should be cake! If someone can’t afford to host it themselves any more (for some reason), there are always places to go. (payed hosting, “the cloud” if you will, moving the server to a friend’s house)
