If you feel your site is successful as it is now, and your users left because of the social network type setup that Burton moved to, it would take a custom and really muted theme to make BuddyPress a good move for you. By muted I mean you would want to keep the same kind of integration you have now, turn off BuddyPress Group Forums, and maintain the central forum setup that you have now.
