They might, and if they do, they are free not to use microcosm.app.
The biggest bit of the puzzle that is missing there is how easy it is to add in the affliate link stuff to current forum software, and the range of affiliates available through it.
If it's hard to add the affiliatle links, Microco.sm is good.
If Microco.sm can use the cost savings from hosting mutiple forums on it's servers, again, its good.
If Microco.sm can get a wider range of affiliates, it's good (more cash from the same number of links)
Also, if Microco.sm makes it easy to setup forums that look better than other software, people will migrate towards it. If MrMicrowave dosn't move to the better service, maybe one of his users sets up a Microco.sm, and tells people on the old forum of the better place he's found...
Lots of ifs, but thats why it's a seed funding offer.
