there was this popular forum software called 'ubb'. much like ll, they ignored customer wants, promised and never delivered, and felt very smug as the most popular, in fact the de facto, forum software on the web. one of the things customers had been pining for was a mysql backend for ubb. the ubb guys would say 'we are looking at it' for over two years.
in the meantime a customer began writing a php/msq hack for ubb and offered it to ubb. ubb wasnt interested.
he released it as a standalone product called vBulletin. when was the last time you saw a ubb?

Their own stupidity and managerial incompetence WILL be the death of them if they don't change.
Competition IS comming folks. All its going to take is a stable platform with content creation and better customer service.
Don't think it will happen? I don't see how it cannot happen.
