If the new "owners" have the slightest bit of common sense they should know not to mess with something that has been a huge success over the years.
The first thing NS needs is money, it will allow the site to do great things. The last thing NS needs is a bunch of changes that aren't necessary or thought out. Over the years NS has been getting closer and closer to the best a site can be. Every change has been well thought out, totally necessary, and has has a positive impact on the site. If you just start throwing stuff out there you lose that, you start adding bullshit and detracting from the quality of the site.
