15. That is a correct paraphrase of what I predicted.

Longer version: I predict a huge drop in activity and donation revenue for this site as the result of The Change. The reasons for this are many, including the fact that everyone's enjoyment of DU has been on the decline for a while, and the nightmare that is the jury system will make it worse. Even Skinner admitted that DU3 might not "work" (he admitted this in the Ask the Administrators forum on the Old Site.)

Other developments may include an upset in "leadership"/ownership of this site. I think this may happen as the result of a big scandal affecting the Democratic Party that could reflect badly on DU's owners.
