I think each app could build up their own user base until the can gain their independence from Steemit. Some could do it from the get-go and some could take longer. The ones that build up their base should look forward to the separation as an anticipated event to be celebrated.

Another option is to give users the choice of posting or not posting to Steemit.

I am really looking forward to the day when I can integrate or replace my website, www.myhuntingfishing.com with a ChainBB type forum where people can contribute their pics, stories and and tips and earn money for themselves and the site. What do you think?

Most of all I want to thank you for your generous upvoting of our comments and posts. It has been great to participate in this project.
