Why not hand it over to someone else who would take the risk?

Seems a bit megalomaniacal.

Because then they're responsible, at least socially, for the things the new admin does.

This way, people have been given plenty of advanced notice and can start their own forums somewhere instead. I'm sure each of the 300 subforums already has some people running them, and they could do the above if they actually cared.

I find it hard to believe someone will take over 300 forums out of the goodness of their hearts and not start making it worse eventually, if not immediately.

Specious reasoning.

The due diligence of picking a successor could be a large job, and depending upon the licence/terms agreed to when people signed up before posted might not even be legally possible.
