Assuming the "inactive" franchise is new ground for the forum. Is there any reason to not leave open until we have a better grasp of what's happening? If the land auction goes south there may be no reason to keep open but if he wins the land...there's a chance.

Voted 3. But if AM doesn't show up or doesn't win the auction I think it's fair to close the forum.
Still, even if he doesn't win the June auction I believe in maintaining at least one thread to keep up with arena or potential expansion news specifically for Coyotes fans, rather than having that in the BoH/main board.

I voted 3 as well, seems like the best solution and if somehow the Coyotes actually do "activate" or whatever, we're ready to roll at any time. Worst case scenario F40 exists for us schmucks who have made a home here for many, many, years. Also I can talk about the Yeti's or whatever here without having to hear from noobs about how Utah saved the team or shit like that.

Kick the can down the road. If AM loses the auction then there’s no reason to keep the forum active. If he wins we can keep it going.
I like how the Utah fans are out offering sympathetic, helping hand. Welcoming us to their community.

Assuming AM wins the auction, then I vote for 2. We need at least one thread to talk about stadium development, then we'll need a thread to talk expansion issues. Maybe a lounge to act like fools, not that I need an excuse.

Let’s wait until the auction and then throw up another poll
Even if Meruelo botches the auction, which is a distinct possibility, I say just take it off the main page and leave it here for those who still want to participate. If a year or two from now it's completely dead then I suppose SniperHF may choose to pull the plug but until then I see no particularly good reason to pull the plug any sooner then that. 
Well assuming it isn't too much work for Sniper to maintain but my guess is it won't be.

The site administrators at the time just renamed it the Jets board and off they went.
This was not a great idea.
3 or 4. There’s a lot good content in the sticky threads. And I would miss you all!

There are some good threads, so I say option 3. Just tuck it away somewhere.

Not only did they do what Sniper said, but they also deleted all contents of team boards prior to 2012...which in that franchise's case was abominably stupid as it erased the entirety of Thrashers board history. The only records of it today are what you can recover from the Wayback Machine Archives.
Basically, the site owners couldn't possibly screw it up any worse than they did before with Atlanta. What happened to that board is tragic.
Do not close this forum under any circumstances.
With or without the Yotes, we need spaces like these for Arizona based hockey fans to come and form community.
If we are truly concerned for the future of the game here now that the Coyotes are on the way out of town, taking away spaces like this one would only serve to exacerbate that issue.

I voted for 4. This saga will never end it seems, but he still owns the Coyotes technically, so if he wins the land auction, that's one step closer(hopefully).

I don't really like any of these options.
Whatever the solution should be, the forum should stay open and be on the main page. Whether there's a subforum for "inactive" teams, or whether we stay in the central division and people can just deal with it, or even if we have to scroll down to the other leagues section or something, whatever the solution is, this forum should 1 million percent stay open.
Not only is there a ton of history here that should be accessible, but there are many people who will not be moving with the team to the Utah boards.
When this all started the mods said that this forum would not be shipped off into the night and stop existing. I would like to see that statement stay true.
Fine with waiting til the auction for another poll, but I would sincerely hope that this forum stays open and visible. Shit, rename it to "Arizona Hockey Team" or whatever if you want, but it should still be there. History is important, and there's a hell of a lot here. Don't pull a Meruelo!

It will not be deleted or invisible, but it will not remain in the NHL team board sections either.

I'm a Utah fan. Come on over...plenty of room in the pool.
Voted 4, but don't mind 3. I'm not going to support Utah because they not picked up Coyotes history and records. And I believe NHL will be in Arizona in 5-7 years (Meruelo or not) so we need forum or at least a thread to discuss Arizona stuff or even memories.

I'm here!
decided to log back in after years of lurking around and not posting. See if AM can put his money where his mouth is, he now has an extra billion to get this done so I don't see any excuse other than greed and government standing in the way.
Wait and see what happens is my vote.
