Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this forum and I appreciate all the volunteer time and work that already goes into it keeping it organized and adding photos regularly. It is an awesome way to stay up to date with everything going on in the city from down the 401. I realize that any switch would include added work but think it would really be a great resource to have.
The map feature is something that I feel adds a huge benefit to someone browsing the forum. Also being able to have a "summary" page for each project that has all images and renders in one album rather than having to go clicking through pages.
We already have an amazing community, I think we should have a website that can show us off.

I’ve been thinking this for some time as well. While there is some nostalgia to the early-internet style forum of SSP, it’s an absolutely awful user experience on mobile (web is alright, but still leaves a lot to be desired). The SSP community is really amazing but I find the platform can be so frustrating. As you mentioned, it seems there is a lot of functionality on skyrise that would be really useful.
IIRC there is/was a skyrise section for Ottawa, but I’m not sure how active it is. I would imagine if some of the more frequent contributors such as JT, Harley, Waterloo, rocketphish etc wanted to make the switch that it could start to thrive.
If there ends up being more widespread interest in this, I would be willing to help get the ball rolling with projects.
