> Also Watkins sued Brennan so the site might be kinda on hold
Yeah. That too. It may help to represent how much damage was done to the site as they can't devote resources to expanding it. "Yes, your honor. Let me demonstrate the extent of the problem." Etc.
> I requested to migrate my board
After the announcement was first made I waited two days to send in my two migration requests. I figured there was such a deluge coming it would be better not to spam them too early.
Three questions. Obviously, don't give out any information that needs to remain private.
1. Did you send the request from an email account that is the official contact email as listed in the board settings page?
2. Did you include the board recovery keys?
3. How recently did you do so?
If the answers to 1 and 2 are "no," you will never even receive a reply. Not even a denial. If the answers to 1 are "yes" and 2 "no," you may be able to negotiate with Ron and prove ownership via that email address. It won't happen quickly, if ever. Good luck.
If "no" and "yes," I'm not sure, but not every board maintained an official contact email. The key here is the key.
If "yes" and "yes," and the answer to 3 is "recently," I would merely advise you to continue to wait.
I believe Ron et. al. used this opportunity as a means to identify reasonably responsible board owners they could rely on freely. They were intending to minimize drama across the relaunch. Ron's public comments, and the very first PM you would see after board recovery, emphasize their expectations for activist BOs from now on. Not paying attention to critical things like recovery keys and setting an official contact email is a big hint.
Outside of qanon, there is no favoritism or personal involvement with the BO's by Jim and Ron that I am aware of. Neither Fred, nor Ron, nor anyone else has any idea who I am, nor have they ever shown any interest in knowing. All I did to get the boards I managed to be migrated was follow their rules.
That's all I've been able to gather about the process to date.
